Arisaema asperatum

[fredg]

Another Aroid for your delectation.



Lettuce anyone?



Edit:18th January 2009
Since posting this I have done a little checking on this species as I have not seen it listed elsewhere.
Arisaema wilsonii appears to be a synonym of Arisaema elephas and as this example does not look to me like A. elephas it remains a mystery.
Watch this space for the next gripping installment. ;D

Now that looks closer to mine but a lot darker and the flower/inflorescence is held a lot higher.... he/she is also not sure of identification.

Anyone else care for a stab at a name?
This is turning out to be an interesting 'lettuce'

I received mail today identifying this as Arisaema asperatum.
On checking I would indeed concur.
