Amorphophallus bufo
Species of plant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amorphophallus bufo is a species of flowering plant in the arum family Araceae, native to Peninsular Malaysia.[1] Its petioles have numerous black spots; it is thought this is defensive mimicry, with the spots appearing to herbivores to be a swarm of ants guarding the plant.[2]
