Amorphophallus krausii

The name Amorphophallus krausii is a misspelling of A. krausei Engl. (1911), a seasonally dormant tuberous aroid from continental Southeast Asia and the eastern Himalaya. Care follows other monsoon-forest Amorphophallus: warm and watered while in leaf, dry through the winter rest. Little species-specific habitat detail is published.

Where it grows wild

GBIF lists the accepted A. krausei with most records from Thailand, plus Myanmar, Laos and southern China. Like its relatives it is presumably a terrestrial herb of seasonally dry forest and forest edges; specific microhabitat data were not found.

No elevation data were measured for this spelling; the species' elevation range is unverified.
