Summary

Description
Français : Le genre Amorphophallus s'étend à travers l'Afrique, l'Asie et l'Australie, ainsi que diverses îles. À partir d'un tubercule souterrain, ils produisent une feuille et une inflorescence. L'inflorescence a à la fois des fleurs mâles et des fleurs femelles sur la partie inférieure de l'inflorescence, ces dernières ne sont réceptives au pollen que le jour de la floraison. Pour attirer les mouches et autres mangeurs de charogne, Amorphophallus dracontioides émet une odeur «rappelant la pourriture de la carcasse et des excréments». Malgré ce qui vient d’être dit la plante peut être «mangé après avoir été découpé, lavé à plusieurs reprises et bouilli pendant un ou deux jours» et est considéré comme un aliment de famine.
English: The genus Amorphophallus extends across Africa, Asia and Australia, as well as various islands. From an underground tuber they produce a leaf and an inflorescence. The inflorescence has both male and female flowers on the lower part of the inflorescence, the latter only receptive to pollen on the day of flowering. To attract flies and other carrion eaters, Amorphophallus dracontioides emits an odor "reminiscent of carcass and dung rot". Despite what has just been said the plant can be "eaten after being cut up, washed several times and boiled for one or two days" and is considered a famine food.
