I.D. of this Stinky Plant?

The leaves aren't right for Amorphophallus. Can anyone tell me what the name of this plant is?

Try taking a look at this link. I'm not so sure this is the same plant but don't count Amorphophallus out as a genus quite yet.

Or perhaps, Typhonium venosum.

It does look like the Typhonium.... I'm just not sure. The one you posted, olddude, looks like my bulbifer....I didn't realize they could be so similar....

Note the blotching on the petiole from your plant which is typical of a Typhonium venosum. Could you add a picture of the complete foliage on this plant?

Here's top of plant

and another... it's dark now so difficult to take more pics

wrong pic...

Here are two pictures from my Typhonium venosum for you to compare.

Thanks1 That sure looks like it!

You are very welcome bigbubbles.

Just thought you guys might like to know you are only looking at a single leaf in case you have not already figured that out.

The individual "leaves" are the leaflets of a single leaf blade. Take a look at either of the photos above and you will see the rachis that connects the individual leaflets together. These species (Amorphophallus and related species) only produce a single divided leaf at the top of a single petiole. I used to look a the ones I grow all the time and try to figure this out and it was very confusing until I began to read the scientific descriptions in depth.

These plants are very intererstng from a botanical point of view.
