'''''Amorphophallus napalensis''''' is a species in the family [[Araceae]] known from the Himalayan regions of Bhutan, Nepal and India. They belong to the ''Candarum'' section in which the spathe is convoluted below, oblong to oblong-ovate or ovate-lanceolate and the spadix shorter than the spathe with styles 2-4 times the length of the ovary. The spathe opens at dusk and is visited by a number of species of beetle which are attracted by the odour of methyl mercaptan.
