Amorphophallus eburneus

A small Bornean Amorphophallus with an ivory-coloured spathe, known from a few sites in western Sarawak. It is a tuberous forest-floor aroid of an ever-wet climate; in cultivation it wants warmth, shade, humidity and an airy, free-draining mix, and may still go dormant from time to time.
