It does not look to be Macrorrhiza if that helps. It could be odora or maybe calidora? Still hard to say.

When I saw it, I also thought it wasn't Macrorrhiza. The leaves are different.

But can you tell from the flower? I think I remember you once saying something about the flower that is different between macrorrhiza and odora, but I can't remember.

Oh...one more important thing. I think it can self pollinate. It had berries.

Here is a macrorrhiza flower. The spath which is the hooded leaf structure over the spadix is green. On odora it is yellow but also on a few other species. They thing with odora is it has rounder type leaves and thicker stems. It looks a bit more like a giant cucullata which many believe cucullata to be a odd dwarf form of Odora. When odora is young to mid size it looks a lot like macrorrhiza but as it matures the leaves will begin to get much larger.

My cucullata has very distinct heart-shaped leaves and the stems are formed in a swirl about the axis of the plant.
Also, it doesn't get much bigger than 3 feet.

It looks like the pics in Plant Files: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/53975/

Did you mean calidora?
