Rhaphidophora korthalsii is a flowering plant of species Rhaphidophora the family Araceae.
Description
Stem
R. korthalsii is a very large, robust pachycaul, heterophyllous liana to 20 meters in its seedling stage as a non- skototropic, "shingling" juvenile shoot. "Shingling" refers to the orientation of the leaves to match the contours of the substrate. The adult shoot is composed of elongated, "clingy", leafy flowing stems. [2]
Inflorescence
Solitary or several together, the first inflorescence is subtended by a bract and one or more cataphylls, which degrade into netted fibres following the emergence of inflorescences subtended by one or more cataphylls. [2]
Infructescence
The infructescences are 14-27 x 3-3.5 cm. When unripe they are a dark green which will ripen into a dull orange colour. [2]
Distribution
Rhaphidophora korthalsii is native to Arunachal Pradesh, South Nansei-shoto, peninsular Thailand to Malesia and the western Pacific region. [3]
