Amorphophallus lacourii explained

Amorphophallus lacourii^[1] is a species of plants in the family Araceae and the monotypics tribe Thomsonieae. Its native range is Indo-China.^[2] It is still often known by its synonym Pseudodracontium lacourii, a consequence of Nicholas Edward Brown^[3] originally erecting the now obsolete genus Pseudodracontium.

The stem typically grows to about 0.5 m tall.^[4] In Vietnamese it is known as nưa bất thường.
