Arisarum sp.

(1/5) > >>

annew:
I've had this plant, obtained as Arisarum sp, for a couple of years and have never noticed it flower before. Can anyone ID it?

Maggi Young:
What cute little chaps, Anne. Unless they are mice with their tails cut off, I think they are Arisarum vulgare.  Varies a good deal in spathe colour, from all paler/greeny to these "proper" dark and light two tone chaps. Yours are being very shy by flowering on such short stems, which is why I find them so cute.

annew:
Thanks, Maggi the pix on Google do look a bit like it. I've also had a message from a member suggesting A. sinorrhinum, and this seems also to be a good possibility.

Maggi Young:
I don't know A. sinorrhinum, I'll have to get the books out!

Maggi Young:

I can only find a reference to A. siMorrhinum as a synonym of A. vulgare ssp. exertum, but, online, i found this site for aroids, with this page, with a key, which may help, Anne.
