''Dracontioides'' is a genus of flowering plants in the Araceae family. It was long thought to contain only a single species until a second species was described in 2005. Both are endemic to Brazil.〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families )〕〔Govaerts, R. & Frodin, D.G. (2002). World Checklist and Bibliography of Araceae (and Acoraceae): 1-560. The Board of Trustees of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew〕〔Forzza, R. C. 2010. Lista de espécies Flora do Brasil http://floradobrasil.jbrj.gov.br/2010. Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro〕 The type species of the genus is ''Dracontioides desciscens'', native to swamps in eastern Brazil. This species was originally classified by Heinrich Wilhelm Schott as belonging to Urospatha, but it was subsequently reassigned to its own genus ''Dracontioides'' by Adolf Engler. The genus is closely related to both ''Urospatha'' and ''Dracontium''. The most notable feature of the species its glossy extremely sagittate leaves with oval fenestrations. The leaves are attached to 2 meter long stalks that are intern attached to a spongy rhizome. Additionally, the inflorescence produced has a smell of rotting meat.〔Bown, Demi (2000).
