Is any forum member growing this species? Maybe in Australia? From what I've read, there's a rainforest type that lacks bulbils, and a northern variant that produces bulbils and has a larger in-ground tuber. Naturally, I'm gravitating towards the latter. So does anyone here have any experience with them? What are they like?

Fair dinkum seeds in Australia probably can help you locate this plant

I contacted him. Apparently, he's grown it on several occasions but usually loses his stock to the drought (when grown in-situ in the bush) or to the critters (when grown in his garden). He's on the lookout to try it again, now that I've talked to him. I think he can ship it out no problem (I got my polystachya from him), but he can't receive yams himself. It's a pity, I was hoping to trade some of my bulbils with him.
