Only 2 Amorphophallus species occur at Andaman: Am. muelleri and Am. longistylus. Because I was unfamiliar with the berries of longistylus I have asked Amorphophallus expert Wilbert Hetterscheid and according
to him the shape of the fruits on the picture is more towards muelleri. As this species is widespread and variable the markings on the stalk are of little help. So not 100% certain but most likely Am. muelleri.
