The specific epithet ‘ wasa ’ is coined from the species local name and used as a noun in apposition.</p><p>Seasonally dormant herb. Tuber napiform, 8.5–11 cm long by 4–10 cm diam, brown outside, white inside. Leaf solitary; petiole 63–77 cm long by 2.1–3.3 cm diam at the base, 1.3–1.9 cm diam at the apex, smooth, terete, green to brownish purplish green with dark brown-olive spots; lamina decompound, 68– 70 cm across, divided into 3 main segments, rachises narrowly winged throughout; leaflets elliptic to obovate, 4.3–11.5 cm long by 3–5.2 cm wide, apex acuminate, with an 0.2–1.2 cm long acumen, base asymmetric and decurrent, adaxially pale green, abaxially green, both surfaces glabrous.

Observed flowering in the wild from May to June and fruiting from July to August.</p><p>Conservation status — The extent of occurrence of A. wasa is 970.861 km 2 with an area of occupancy estimated to be 16 km 2 (calculated in GeoCAT with 2 km defined cell-width; Bachman et al. 2011), which complies with subcriterion ‘a’ of the Endangered category B2. With the distribution currently limited to areas within the Yinmabin and Monywa Districts, we herein propose this species to be treated as ‘Endangered’ (EN B2ab(iii)) following the Red List criteria of the IUCN Standards and Petitions Subcommittee (2019).</p><p>Vernacular name — Locally known by the Burmese people as wasa (၀0ာ).</p><p>Uses — The young inflorescences are cooked and eaten as a vegetable by local people.</p><p>Notes — Amorphophallus wasa is considered to belong to a small clade of 3 species ( A. saraburiensis, A. scutatus Hett. &amp; T.C.Chapm. and A. tenuistylis Hett.). This strongly supported clade was recovered in an extensive molecular phylogenetic analysis by Claudel et al. (2017) and belongs to A. subg. Scutandrium Hett. &amp; Claudel. More detailed comparisons between the morphologically similar species are presented in Table 1, and an identification key to the Amorphophallus species of Myanmar is provided below.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/A46EC0319E08FFAAFF9AA57BFE13FE06	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

However, the third author of the present paper now proposes that the names A. corrugatus and A. kachinensis represent one and the same species, based on a new insight regarding the one character that was believed to differ enough in both species to accept their separate species status. Recent observations and a re-evaluation of this character (the surface structure of the appendix) lead the third author to conclude that his ear- lier opinion must now be abandoned in favour of considering A. corrugatus to be a redescription of A. kachinensis, the last name being the priorable one. The most relevant observations leading to the new conclusion is seen in a series of photographs (Fig. 3) showing all intermediate stages between the typical, brain-like convolutions of the appendix surface of A. corrugatus, to the few, vertical, deep fissures of the appendix surface of A. kachinensis s.str.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/A46EC0319E0DFFABFCC3A5BFFECDFD1B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
