Amorphophallus ongsakulii coll AGA1534 Spring Ephemerals nursery-propagated plantsAmorphophallus ongsakulii is one of the most unique miniature species in the genus Amorphophallus only discovered in 2004 and then named and described in 2006. The species was discovered in the Khammouane Province of Laos by Alan Galloway and Annop Ongsakul (for whom it was named). The tiny pinhead sized tuber produces a 3" tall stem topped with a leaf which resembles a cutleaf fern. The equally tiny flower emerges alongside the mature leaves.
