Inflorescence short pedunculate; peduncle 1–2 cm long, entirely hidden in the soil, stretching to twice its length during fruiting. Spathe ovate when spread out, 19– 20 cm long, 10–11 cm diam at the base of the limb, erect, basal part strongly convolute, tubular, limb fornicate, overtopping the spadix, acute, opening wider at male anthesis with margins reflexing, base outside off-white or pale green with whitish orbicular spots, with or without a purplish, white-maculated margin, inside basal part pale purplish, with a few larger verrucae or slightly grooved, upper part off-white. Limb outside whitish green or with a pale purplish background but largely hidden by large, strongly confluent whitish spots, inside deep purplish with numerous, small whitish spots, less numerous towards the margin. Spadix sessile, shorter than spathe, 12–13.5 cm long; female zone cylindric, 1.5–1.7 cm long, 1.6 cm diam, pistils congested; male zone obconic, 4.5–5 cm long, 1.6–1.8 cm diam at the base, 2.2–2.3 cm diam at the top, base and top truncated; appendix stipitate (stipe 0.3–0.5 cm long, grooved or with very flattened, elliptical staminodes), narrowly to broadly elongate conical, 7.5 cm long, 4 cm diam, obtuse, dark purple, surface strongly echinate-papillate, echinae (staminodes) fleshy, narrowly conical, c. 1 mm long, shorter near the top, acute or obtuse.

In both characters it shows a remarkable similarity to the West African A. dracontioides (Engl.) N.E.Br. The narrow spathe base and several characters of the female and male zone, and the pistils and anthers are reminiscent of A. hottae Bogner &amp; Hett. from Sabah (eastern Malaysia). The leaf is also similar to that of the latter species, up to the formation of epiphyllar bulbils.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/025E87B54D4CFFDE4C36FAB239F2A556	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Ovaries depressed, 4 mm diam, 2 mm high, pale green, unilocular; style 1–2 mm long, 1 mm diam, curved upwards, pale green; stigma depressed or transversely bilabiate, 3 by 1.5 mm diam, 0.8 mm high, more or less strongly 2–3-lobed, surface verrucate, pale brown.

Synandrodes elliptical, 4–7 mm long, 3–4 mm diam, 2 mm high, flattened, surface densely verrucate or irregular.</p><p>Distribution — Known only from the type locality.</p><p>Notes — Amorphophallus rayongii is morphologically very close to A. salmoneus, with which it shares the flattened, verrucate synandrodes between the male and female zone. No other species on the Philippines show this character. It is not a unique character in the genus and is found in quite a number of species from SE Asia, although the verrucate surface of the Philippine species is unique.</p><p>Amorphophallus salmoneus has been placed in subg. Amorphophallus (Claudel et al. 2017) close to A. dactylifer and A. declinatus both Philippine species. This subclade is part of a larger clade with exclusively insular SE Asian species from Indonesia and East Malaysia. However, all other species with synandrodes similar to those of A. salmoneus and A. rayongii are part of subg. Scutandrium Hett. &amp; Claudel, dominated by mainland SE Asian species. The synandrodes therefore are clearly a parallel expression developed from fertile male flowers in different clades.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/025E87B54D4DFFDA4F79F8BC3B46A50D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
