Amorphophallus. You can always recognize an Amorphophallus shoot by the fact it has 3 distinct but equal leaf sections. Each section will be divided again into several leaflets. In Arisaema you will never see that, if they are divided they are either radiatisect (umbrella-like) or have unequal sections with a central leaflet and 2 lateral divided ones along a substalk called a rachis (tortuosum, neglectum). Can’t help you with the species.
This is definitely a species of genus Amorphophalus
Amorphophallus konjac
