Carlephyton glaucophyllum is a species of arum endemic to Madagascar. It differs from the two other species in the genus in that it has some bisexual flowers present concurrent to the female flowers. It has a short spadix and the leaves are glaucous. It grows in its natural range at altitudes from 150 m (492 ft) to 200 m (656 ft) and flowers in December. It is typically found growing in clusters. The berries are possibly yellowish.
It was described by Josef Bogner in 1972.
