Amorphophallus bufo is a tuberous aroid from Peninsular Malaysia and Sumatra, grown for its spotted leaf stalks. It needs warm, humid conditions, a well-drained, humus-rich mix, and a dry dormant rest.
Amorphophallus bufo is a species of flowering plant in the arum family Araceae, native to Peninsular Malaysia. Its petioles have numerous black spots; it is thought this is defensive mimicry, with the spots appearing to herbivores to be a swarm of ants guarding the plant.
