These plants exist only in the rainforests of Sumatra, although it has now been transplanted, harvested, and grown all over the world.
These herbs have two phases in his life which appear by turns, the phase of vegetative and generative phase. In the vegetative phase the leaves and stems appear quasi. Height can reach 6m. After some time (years), it wilted vegetative organs and tuber dormancy. If sufficient food reserves in the tuber and the environment supports, plural flowers will appear. If less food reserves to grow back the leaves. The flowers are very large and high, shaped like a phallus (actually the cob or spadix) surrounded by a sheath which is also a large interest. The flowers are monoecious and protogini: first receptive female flowers, male flowers followed by cooking, as a mechanism to prevent self-pollinating.
