[spirit coll.]). Cultivated from Van der Maesen &amp; De Wilde s.n., Gabon, Libréville, Sibang Forest, 20 January 1993, syn. nov.</p><p>Discussion — Amorphophallus angolensis was described from northwestern Angola in a lowland habitat of the Pungo Andongo Black Rocks formation near the town of Malanje, whereas the type locality of A. hetterscheidii Ittenb. &amp; Lobin is east of Libréville in northwestern Gabon. The diagnostic features of A. hetterscheidii that differentiate it from A. angolensis (as outlined by Ittenbach &amp; Lobin 1997) are a less sigmoid spadix, stigmas that are not as strongly lobed, and a spathe in which the base and limb are separated by a slightly shallower constriction.After studying several specimens from both regions, it is found that A. hetterscheidii is indistinguishable from A. angolensis when herbarium material is compared. Living collections of individuals from each region displayed minor detectable differences in the degree of stigma lobing and spathe constriction. However, these differences were not significant and are further obscured by the existence of intermediate specimens. Ergo, the recognition of A. hetterscheidii as a distinct species is inadvisable and here synonymized with A. angolensis .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E22F316DFFD5FFE3983EF92680E7AC45	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Amorphophallus manta was distinguished from A. bufo in having a spadix equally long as the spathe, an indistinct style, and distant anthers with longer filaments. The description (Ridley 1909) in the protologue ex- plicitly states that the spadix is as long as the spathe, and that the stigma is discord (presumably to be interpreted as variable in shape); therefore, the first pair of aforementioned diagnostic characters are subsumed by the variability encompassed by a</p><p>c</p><p>A. bufo . Filament length and anther density were also found to be quite variable in both living and herbarium specimens of individuals from either region, with specimens displaying intermediate phenotypes for both characters; ergo, A. manta is here synonymized with A. bufo .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E22F316DFFD5FFE29B70F9CE85A8AFFC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Amorphophallus nanus was distinguished from A. konjac in having a short peduncle and paler (purple) spathe. Amorphophallus konjac is one of the most widely cultivated species of Amorphophallus, with a plethora of agricultural and horticultural uses (Gao et al. 2022). As a result, at least a dozen cultivars of A. konjac exist in cultivation, which has made parsing the natural morphological variation of this species a challenge to systematists. Amorphophallus nanus is indistinguishable from several short-peduncled cultivars of A. konjac, specifically A. konjac ‘Pinto’ (AGA-2450) and A. konjac ‘Dwarf’ (AGA-1408), supporting its taxonomic reclassification as a synonym and perhaps a short-peduncled ecotype of A. konjac .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E22F316DFFD4FFE2983EFA48868CA23E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
