Amorphophallus aberrans

A little-known tuberous Amorphophallus from western Thailand, known from very few wild records. Like its seasonal-forest relatives it grows one leaf in the hot wet season and goes dormant through the dry, cooler months, so a warm growing season and a dry winter rest are the keys to keeping it.

Where it grows wild

Very little is published on its habitat; the single climate site is lowland (about 160 m) in western Thailand, a monsoon climate typical of deciduous and mixed forest where Thai Amorphophallus grow in leaf litter under a broken canopy. The description here is generalised from the genus.

Only one recorded site, at about 160 m; the true elevation range is unknown.
