Amorphophallus napalensis is a species in the family Araceae known from the Himalayan regions of Bhutan, Nepal and India . They belong to the Candarum section in which the spathe is convoluted below, oblong to oblong-ovate or ovate-lanceolate and the spadix shorter than the spathe with styles 2-4 times the length of the ovary. The spathe opens at dusk and is visited by a number of species of beetle which are attracted by the odour of methyl mercaptan. Beetles of the genus Parastasia were the commonest visitors in Nagaland.[1]
