Amorphophallus mossambicensis (Schott ex Garcke) N.E.Br. is distributed from central Tanzania to southern Tropical Africa. Plants will put up an inflorescence usually just prior to the start of the rainy season with seeds ripening some two months later. The leaf stalk starts to emerge after the inflorescence withers and dies back towards the end of the rainy season by about March. Photos by Nicholas Wightman taken in Lilayi, Zambia.
