Asterostigma: Starry-Stigmed Aroids of Brazil

Asterostigma is a small genus of seasonally dormant, tuberous terrestrial aroids native to humid forests of southern and southeastern South America, with nine species mainly endemic to Brazil and a few extending into Andean regions. Members produce a single unifoliate leaf - often pinnately lobed - and bear inflorescences with distinctive star-shaped stigmas.
