Spotting

I have seen the plant grow without bump and I'm sure it has nothing to do with the bump but the bump is still growing and it almost 1 month i am waiting for it to shoot...thanks for the information!! :)

Unless you can actually see the shoot coming directly out of the ground, it sounds like they should be the same plant. I know you said they are separate but it looks so much like an upside down Amorphophallus tuber and they always put out roots from the top, around the shoot......The other possibility is that there is a tuber underground and this one has been dug up by something and is starting to root, in which case another shoot should curve around and start growing upwards at some point. Have a look at this young A.titanum tuber the right way up, with roots and young shoot (scroll down the page a little): http://www.tindaraorchids.com/rare-plant...

hy craig...The bump actually has its roots at the bottom and i still dont know what is that things..i hope i can find out what is that..

The brown bump looks almost identical to an Amorphophallus tuber. Is it just lying loose on the surface?

benda yang berwarna perang tu tiada hubungan langsung dengan tumbuhan lain dan saya tidak pasti itu adalah fungus...both of the plants have a diffrent ways for growth

Oh, thx for the update...could it be a symbiotic relationship between an earthball fungus with the growing plant? Is the brown mass on top a fungus at all?

hello randall..ya gambar ni sy dapat dari kebun..u live in keningau?..

for your information the bump found on this plant is another plant that have no connection with it.

If u don't mind...please do share the progression on your rare spotting for this mission (http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8061...), thx Khairin!

Hi, Khairin... this spotting really intrigued me....my hometown's in Keningau... ko jumpa ni tumbuhan di tanah yg sdh kna teroka ka? I mean, does it grow on disturbed soil?

Great growth series!!

Hi Khirin, have a look at this one http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/809...

hy julio .. I've been watching this plant almost three weeks and this is the result .. although not Corpse flower but the plant is unique because it has a soft stem and have no branches also there are interesting patterns that can be seen..This plant reaches a height of 10 feet and this plant can be eaten here..

I think Chicquita is right about Amorphophallus. This looks like a tuber that's been unearthed and landed an upside down. The roots grow from around the stem shoot so it should grow OK. If it does happen to be A.titanum, your nose is safe as there's no way it's going to flower, it's way way too small. Could well be another species though. Looking forward to seeing a shot of the leaf or flower if possible...

If it is true Corpse Flower, don't forget to wear a mask. Believe me, it STINKS!!!! Ha ha ... good luck in capturing the flower, it happens quite quick.

boleh bah!!..hahah

haha..julio sebenarnya gambar ini saya dapat dari kebun saya sendiri la..:)

ok chicquita.. i will inform you when its blooming and take a few picture..

My guess is Corpse Flower (Amorphophallus titanum) bulb. Let me know when it's blooming :)

yes..but this is not a palm nut coz it grows from the ground and have a soft skin..
