FLOWERS : unisexual, perigone absent. MALE FLOWER : 1-6-androus, stamens free or sometimes connate in basal flowers or throughout male zone, short, filaments absent or distinct, connective fairly thick, sometimes projecting beyond thecae, thecae obovoid or oblong, opposite, dehiscing apically by an apical (rarely lateral) pore or transverse slit. POLLEN : extruded in strands, inaperturate, mostly ellipsoid to ellipsoid-oblong, occasionally spherical or subsphaeroidal, medium-sized to large (mean 53 µm., range 34-82 µm.), exine striate, striate-reticulate, psilate, punctate-foveolate, verrucate, or spinose. FEMALE FLOWER : gynoecia usually crowded, sometimes ± distant, ovary subglobose to ovoid or obovoid, 1-4-locular, ovules 1 per locule, anatropous, funicle very short to distinct, erect, placenta axile to basal, style absent, short or very long, conoid to cylindric, stigma variably shaped, entire and subglobose or 2-4-lobed, stellate or rarely punctiform, sometimes large and brightly coloured. BERRY : sometimes very large, 1 to few-seeded, orange to red, rarely blue or white, infructescence ± cylindric. SEED : ellipsoid, testa smooth, thin, embryo large, somewhat green superficially, endosperm absent.
- Habitat
- Tropical humid forest, seasonal forest, open woodlands; geophytes, sometimes in humus deposits on rocks (limestone), also in waste places or areas of human habitation (e.g. A. paeoniifolius).

- Diagnostic
- Seasonally-dormant, tuberous geophytes; leaves one to few; leaf blade dracontioid, ultimate lobes with submarginal collective vein, fine venation reticulate; spathe boat-shaped; spadix with terminal appendix composed of staminodes; flowers unisexual, perigone absent; male flowers laxly arranged. Differs from Amorphophallus in having constantly 1-locular ovary and spadix appendix separated from male zone by short naked axis.
