Amorphophallus albus, the white voodoo lily or dwarf white voodoo lily, is a species of flowering plant in the family Araceae.[1][2] It is native to southern Sichuan and northeastern Yunnan.[3] A tuberous geophyte, it is typically found in dry thickets and open woodlands at elevations from 800 to 1,000 m (2,600 to 3,300 ft).[3][4] It is grown as a crop in Yunnan, and is occasionally available elsewhere from specialty nurseries.[4][1]
