Amorphophallus sakonnakhonensis

A little-documented tuberous Amorphophallus named for Sakon Nakhon in north-east Thailand. Like its Thai relatives it grows leaves through the monsoon and dies back to a dormant tuber in the dry season, so the key to growing it is a warm, humid summer and a dry, warm rest.

Where it grows wild

Almost nothing is published beyond the original description; by analogy with other north-east Thai Amorphophallus it is expected in seasonally dry deciduous or mixed forest and scrub on well-drained soil, sprouting with the first monsoon rains.

No elevations recorded; the Sakon Nakhon region lies mostly at about 150–500 m.
