It is found primarily in Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo. It is the nearest relative of Amorphophallus titanum . The spathe is about 1 m (3 ft) in height and green. The spadix is about 1.5 m (5 ft) high and lavender. The stalk or pedicel is longer than that of A. titanum, sometimes up to 3 m (10 ft) tall.
