Identification. Amorphophallus tinekeae is a member of a group of exclusively Bornean species and most closely resembles A. borneensis Engl. & Gehrm., from which it differs by having a consistently short peduncle, strongly zygomorphic stigmas, and a rather narrow appendix (Hetterscheid and van der Ham 2001).

Distribution and ecology. Endemic to Sabah. Known from the type locality in Gomantong Caves on karst limestone.
