Amorphophallus galbra, commonly known as cheeky yam or sweet snakeskin lily, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the arum family Araceae found in New Guinea and northern Australia (Western Australia, the Northern Territory and Queensland). It has an underground tuber which produces flower spikes and leaves in the wet season, which then die off during the dry season.[3][4]
