Abstract

Amorphophallus is a genus of 239 species distributed across the African, Asian, and Australian continents. A new species, Amorphophallus bantae, from the Sa Kaeo province of Thailand is described and illustrated. The species is compared to morphologically similar species in the Longituberosus and Saraburiensis subclades and an updated key to these species is provided.
