The genus Amorphophallus Blume ex Decne. is represented by 18 species and seven varieties in India out of which 11 species and three varieties are endemic to the country. The present paper provides a comparative account of morphology and karyology of recently described three varieties, viz. Amorphophallus commutatus var. anmodensis Sivad. & Jaleel, A. commutatus var. anshiensis Punekar et al. and A. commutatus var. wayanadensis Sivad. & Jaleel. The somatic chromosome number 2n = 26 is reported for all the three taxa.
