Arnold:

This plant is identical to the plants we grow and sell as A. fargesii.
All of the A. franchetianum that I've ever seen in the wild or received has
a non-shiny leaf and flowers two months later...July as opposed to May for
A. fargesii.

Jim:

I think that the leaf is a mature one. The plant has flowered three
years and each year the leaf gets bigger. I place a yard stick in the
photo to give a hint at the size of the leaf. I have looked at A.
franchetianum and A. fargesii on the Aroid page and the leaf structure
does not look similar. The leaf is almost twenty five inches in length
and very glossy.
