Dracontium pittieri is a tuberous aroid from wet tropical Costa Rica, similar to D. gigas but with a notably long flower stalk. It is a rarely cultivated species, so care is inferred from related Dracontium and tropical aroid growing needs.
Dracontium pittieri is a species of flowering plant native to Costa Rica. It is similar in appearance to Dracontium gigas, but has a substantially longer peduncle, which is the longest of any plant in its genus, between five and eight times the length of its spathe.
