Typhonium praetermissum is a species of plant in the arum family that is endemic to the Northern Territory of Australia.[3] In 2022, Hay and others resurrected the genus, Lazarum, and renamed the species as Lazarum praetermissum[4] (a name accepted by Plants of the World Online).[5]
The species is a geophytic, perennial herb, which resprouts annually from a corm. The leaves vary from oval in shape to deeply divided, up to 4.5 cm long, on a stalk up to 5.5 cm long. The flower is enclosed in a brown and maroon spathe 4 cm long. The small fruits appear in November and December.[3]
