Amorphophallus barbatus (free reward for donation)

50 (80)cm, Amorphophallus barbatus was discovered by late Alan Galloway and described in 2015. It is an extremely rare species which is known from a single location only in central Laos. So far less than a dozen plants have been observed in habitat on the occasion of three excursions over the past ten years. Tubers are from in-vitro propagated material from the original stock on which the description was based on. They have been grown in the soil for one, respectively two growing seasons. Sizes range from ca. 1 cm ø to ca. 3 cm ø (measured at their broadest point). The latter may need one more growing season to reach flowering size.

Tubers from Amorphophallus barbatus will be distributed as free rewards for a donation to cover costs for research studies on the genus Amorphophallus in habitat, for publishing undescribed species, and for maintaining a part of late Dr. Alan Galloway's live Amorphophallus and Typhonium collection which was transferred to us in late 2020.

There are three donation levels:
Level 1: donation of € 120,00 / reward one ca. 1 cm ø tuber
Level 2: donation of € 150,00 / reward one ca. 2 cm ø tuber
Level 3: donation of € 175,00 / reward one ca. 3 cm ø tuber

Shipping is free via signed for/registered airmail from Germany. Shipping is strictly within the EU only.

Tubers will be assigned to donators on a first-come first-served basis. Once no tubers are available anymore at a particular donation level, this level will be stopped. As of 01 July 2021 all tubers have been assignated.
