Amorphophallus atroviridis is a plant in the family Araceae believed to be endemic to central Thailand, though collection data from Kew Botanical Gardens does not specify locality or distribution.[1] Its name is derived from Latin, with "atro-" translating to "dark", and "viridis" meaning "green", which is likely in reference to the plant's foliage. A. atroviridis has markedly dark emerald-blackish green foliage compared to other species in the genus and has a striking pink margin about the leaf, making it an attractive ornamental plant. The species can be cultivated under temperate conditions or indoors, so long as temperatures are maintained between 5 - 35 °C (40 - 95 °F) and the plant receives sufficient light and is in well-draining soil.[2]
