Amorphophallus hottae

A Bornean Amorphophallus described by Bogner and Hetterscheid in 1992, with no wild GBIF records in the data. It comes from an evergreen equatorial climate, so treat it as a warm, humid, shade-loving forest aroid and let the tuber rest only when the plant goes dormant on its own.
