Anchomanes nigritianus

A little-documented tuberous aroid from Nigeria and Gabon, grown like other Anchomanes: one large divided leaf on a prickly stalk each wet season, then a dry dormancy as a tuber. There are no wild GBIF records, so treat every target here as a starting point drawn from the genus.

No recorded elevations; the climate sites used were placed in the listed countries at about 480 to 550 m.
