Amorphophallus minimus

The smallest Philippine Amorphophallus, described in 2021 from the Pantabangan–Carranglan watershed in Nueva Ecija, Luzon, and only about 24 cm tall. It grows in montane forest at 950–1400 m, so it wants cooler, wetter conditions than the measured lowland climate suggests.

Where it grows wild

Montane forest floor within a single small watershed reserve; like its relatives it is a tuberous understorey herb that likely goes dormant in the dry season.

Known from 950–1400 m; the measured climate site is at sea level and is not representative.
