Stachyphrynium placentarium[1] is a species of plant in the family Marantaceae. Its basionym was Phyllodes placentaria Lour.[2] and was subsequently long placed as various species in the genus Phrynium. The species is widespread throughout Asia, with records from Bhutan, southern China, India, Indo-China and Indonesia; no subspecies are listed in the Catalogue of Life.[3]
