Amorphophallus konkanensis

A small Amorphophallus described in 2010 from the Konkan coast of western India, known from very few collections. Like its monsoon-coast relatives it is a deciduous tuber that leafs out with the June rains and sleeps through the hot, dry months, so a warm wet summer and a dry winter rest are the keys in cultivation.

Where it grows wild

Grows in the low coastal belt below the Western Ghats, on lateritic plateaus and in open scrubby or secondary forest where monsoon rain soaks thin red soils; this is inferred from the region and related Konkan species, not from detailed field notes.

Lowland, roughly sea level to a few hundred metres; the single record carries no elevation.
