Etymology
skikokianum-from the Island of Sikoku
12-20 inches tall with dark brown and light green stripes. The spathe is elevated to a nearly vertical position above the porcelain white interior and bulbously tipped spadix of identical coloring, looking like a ceramic apothecary pestle left in a mortar with a fancy raised lid.
Naturally, Bruce Peters brought in a variegated form with silver markings on the leaflets. Wow! We all wanted each of them!
