Amorphophallus lacourii is a species of flowering plant in the family Araceae and the monotypic tribe Thomsonieae. [1] [2] [3] It is native to Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam. [1]

It is still often known by its synonym Pseudodracontium lacourii, a consequence of Nicholas Edward Brown [4] originally erecting the now obsolete genus Pseudodracontium .

The stem typically grows to about 0.5 m tall. [5] In Vietnamese it is known as nưa bất thường.
