2C63CAF3BEF65E04AA06F512D35DE386.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Amorphophallus dumboi differs from A. margretae in the leaves and inflorescences that appear at the same time on the same tuber (leaves appear after inflorescence in A. margretae), the peduncle about 4 times the length of the spathe (peduncle not exceeding 2 times the length of the spathe in A. margretae), and the inner base of spathe with irregular rounded to elongate smallpox-like projections of 0.2 - 1 mm in length, between and on the veins (inner base of spathe smooth, with shallowly elevated dark veins in A. margretae).	en	Fischer, Eberhard, Dumbo, Bonny, Dumbo, Landry (2022): A new species of Amorphophallus (Araceae) from Eastern D.

2C63CAF3BEF65E04AA06F512D35DE386.taxon	etymology	Etymology. Named after Dumbo Kilundo (1 January 1930 - 18 September 2020), one of the most knowledgeable botanists from D. R. Congo, despite that he never received formal training. Born in Kisanga (Mulolo), Shabunda, he went to the Institut de Recherche Scientifique en Afrique Centrale (IRSAC) at Lwiro, today Centre de Recherche en Sciences Naturelles (CRSN). There he worked first with A. R. Christiaensen and later with G. Troupin. He made major contributions to the knowledge of the Flora of Central Africa, first for the IRSAC, later as Head of Irangi Forest Reserve and for the Herbarium of Lwiro.	en	Fischer, Eberhard, Dumbo, Bonny, Dumbo, Landry (2022): A new species of Amorphophallus (Araceae) from Eastern D.
