ABSTRACT

Amorphophallus ‘John Tan’ (Claudel et al., 2012) was the first successful Amorphophallus hybrid involving A. variabilis Bl. and A. titanum (Becc.). In this report, a new hybrid cultivar A. ‘Digest’ is described. This new hybrid was obtained from a cross involving A. variabilis ‘Sluka’s Dark Giant’ as the female parent and A. titanum as the pollen donor.
