Amorphophallus minimus is a tiny corpse lily from the Philippines, growing about 24 cm tall, known only from a small mountain forest reserve in Nueva Ecija. It is a wild, recently described species rarely grown in cultivation, so care advice is inferred from its genus.
Amorphophallus minimus is a species of corpse flower found in the Philippines endemic to the Pantabangan-Carranglan Watershed Forest Reserve, Nueva Ecija province. Amorphophallus minimus is 24 cm in height (making it the smallest species in the genus Amorphophallus in the Philippines) and is the 17th known species in the genus Amorphophallus in the Philippines and is the 198th species of the genus Amorphophallus worldwide. The species has a rust colouration with a lichen like pattern. Amorphophallus minimus grows at an elevation of 950 to 1,400 meters (3,120 to 4,590 ft) and has a small habitat range.
As a result of predation, Amorphophallus minimus utilizes mimicry of its surroundings to avoid being eaten by predators that roam their environment
