Amorphophallus terrestris

A little-documented Thai Amorphophallus. The climate data rest on a single lowland site with a monsoon pattern: wet from May to October and dry from December to February. Like most of its genus, it is presumably a seasonally dormant tuberous forest-floor aroid that grows in the rains and rests in the dry season.

Where it grows wild

No wild GBIF records were available, and no species-specific habitat account was found. Thai Amorphophallus typically grow in deciduous or mixed forest and on forest edges, in humus over well-drained soil, and that is assumed here.

Unknown; the single climate site is at 68 m.
