Typhonium alismifolium is a species of plant in the Araceae family that is endemic to Australia.
The species is a deciduous, geophytic, perennial herb which resprouts annually from a corm about 5 cm in diameter. The oval to trilobed leaves are borne on 10–70 cm long stalks. The flower is enclosed in a 25 cm long spathe, green on the outside, deep brownish-purple on the inside. [1]
The species is known from the Northern Territory and northeastern Queensland, where it grows in dry rainforest and deciduous vine forest. [1]
