Amorphophallus lacourii is a tuberous aroid from Indo-China, grown mainly by enthusiasts and botanic collectors. Its key to growing it is a warm, humid, well-drained setting with a dormant rest period.
Amorphophallus lacourii is a species of flowering plant in the family Araceae and the monotypic tribe Thomsonieae. It is native to Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam.
It is still often known by its synonym Pseudodracontium lacourii, a consequence of Nicholas Edward Brown originally erecting the now obsolete genus Pseudodracontium.
