_Hydrosme rivieri_ (Durieu ex Carriere) Engl. (based on
_Amorphophallus rivieri_ Durieu ex Carriere 1871 non Durieu ex
Carriere 1869) is a member of the Araceae. Many members of this
family trap insects with their inflorescences. But these insects are
released after pollination, so the plants are *not* carnivorous.

Thanks for the offer but I do not need the picture.

Kind regards
Jan
