[3] T. chantrieri prefers environments similar to its native region with tropical, moist conditions.

Its purported uses are wide in range from common aliments to more complex conditions such as cancer.

[6] T. chantrieri is found in Southeast Asia spanning regions in Assam, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Southern China, Hainan, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, Tibet, and Vietnam.

However, its range has been lessened due to overexploitation, habitat destruction, and forest fragmentation.

They attract attention for animals that consume decaying matter; however, that is not the case with T. chantrieri.

It is the "helmet-like stamens" that make it incredibly difficult for the insect to leave the flower.

[3] Plants with greater energy investments in floral structures like T. chantrieri are more attractive to pollinators and benefit from increased genetic variability due to cross-pollination.

This may be from bug visitation being infrequent; however, the pollen bundles on most stigmas indicated self-pollination which occurs prior to flower opening.

[7] Some believe that it once had a foul smell in order to attract pollinators along with its ornate floral display.

T. chantrieri's rhizomes prefer a moist, tropical, and densely nutrient based biome.

These flowers are mostly free from pest and disease; however, gardeners should be careful of slugs and snails.

[4][8] These medicinal extracts commonly treat ailments such as: high blood pressure, gastric ulcers, burns, hepatitis, and enteritis.
