Oh, that is VERY nice, better than the forms I've seen in NZ. A real work of art Roland. ;D

I will see the harvest in a few hours Lesley
probably less as last years harvest
many bulbs are less because of the bad summer :(

a group of potted sikokianums ready for one of my plant shows of which they where the stars! Not quite as vigorous as last year due to the very poor, cold and rainy weather in march/april, but still nice and definitely my favourite sp!!!

Absolutely great all those A. sikokianum!  :o

The white form of A. candidissimum is way earlier to flower here than the pink form.

Quite a show, Pontus!

My collection of Arisaema doesn't count that many, but here are one clumping up in my garden. I think it is A elephas but please tell me if you think otherwise.

I have been growing a few for many years and I have to agree with you Pontus, it is certainly my favorite Arisaema as well   :)

Arisaema CLD 1519 was for years named and distributed as Arisaema consanguineum, but there is now an opinion that it is Arisaema fraternum,

I have just made a gallery on my website of some of the fabulous arisaemas i saw last week in Gothenburg botanical garden, in high resolution.

there where some fabulous ones, and most where at their peak flowering period I think.

Here is the link :)

This season, i have my first Arisaema germination form donator of SRGC ...very good news.

I hope i could proposed to you flowering of this seeds in some year !!

Post by: pontus on July 04, 2013, 08:30:03 PM
Hello Trond,

I think your arisaema might be a young arisaema cilliatum var liuabaense...it will get quite tall in a few years..maybe about 120 cm's or so

Hi Pontus!

Thank you. I have some unknown plants - usually I loose the labels or the names are wrong, or they are seedlings of unknown parents.
Title: Re: Arisaema 2013
Post by: johnw on July 04, 2013, 08:51:36 PM
One of 5 Ariseama fraternum CLD1519 is in flower.  It is considerably more vigorous than the pint-sized siblings.

A. fargesii is growing (and propagating) quite good, even in a large pot on my balcony. I take the tubers out for the winter and store them dry in my cool cellar.
Title: Re: Arisaema 2013
Post by: pontus on July 17, 2013, 10:39:23 AM
A few arisaemas from here :

a nice pure white form of candidissimum, a pink form of candidisimum, arisaema flavum, a silver leaf form of consanguineum, and the very nice arisaema concinnum

the latest of all here, arisaema speciosum magnificum, is just about coming above ground now....

I recieved this arisaema sp as consanguineum, but I believe that it is tortuosum...what do you think?

The tuber was much smaller and more rounded than a usual tortuosum.....

Pontus

I'd say it was A. tortuosum it is a fairly variable species with a few synonyms that are occassionaly recognised. The inflorescence has a fairly characteristic smell like mushrooms.

Aren't they just? Growing well and super photos, Alan.  I do like arisaemas and am so pleased they seem to enjoy life in Scotland!

Thanks! Yeah i love Arisaemas. Boyd Barr got me into them when I worked at Branklyn. He has a lot to answer for really.

I have a few others that are over. I've got A. nepenthoides, two forms of A. griffithii, A. amurense (oddly with didnt flower this year) and A. consanguinium.

I have a clump of Arisaema that came to me as A. consanguineum. This year I wondered about donating seed to the exchange, but since I tried to verify its identity with the Gusman's book I started to doubt. Earlier in this thread there was another A. consanguineum that was likened to A. ciliatum var. liubaense. These look very similar. Does anyone have a top-tip as to how to tell them apart? (I transplanted some last year and broke some stolons which must be from this arisaema) The tallest plant reached about 50cm.
Title: Re: Arisaema 2013
Post by: pontus on October 11, 2013, 12:52:47 PM
Hello Bart,

I would say that you have cilliatum var liuabaense, as they generally have these flowers with brown lines and larger flowers. I find that consanguineum usually has plain green leaves with green flowers, like the one I photographed this summer in Gothenburg botanical gardens that you can see in the link below :

http://pontuswallstenplants.smugmug.com/Other/Arisaema-gallery/30129183_xR7jTf# (http://pontuswallstenplants.smugmug.com/Other/Arisaema-gallery/30129183_xR7jTf#)!i=2590551472&k=974G2wq

(I transplanted some last year and broke some stolons which must be from this arisaema) The tallest plant reached about 50cm. 

The tip is this: A ciliatum is stoloniferous and has hairs on the margins of the mouth, and A ciliatum var liubaense is stoloniferous, but has no hairs, although some authorites now do not recognise var liubaense as distinct.  A consanguineum is not stoloniferous.  I agree with Pontus that the colour is usually a good differentiating feature, as A ciliatum usually has brown stripes. 

So I agree with Pontus that your plant is A ciliatum on colour, and also because it is stoloniferous.  I think that the reason this form is now very common in cultivation is because it reproduces by stolons.
Title: Re: Arisaema 2013
Post by: Bart on October 11, 2013, 04:36:08 PM
Thanks Pontus and Diane.
Diane, would it be safe to name them as such then for the seed exchange? Please see attached detail of the mouth-margin- no hairs I think. And is there an interest for these seeds or are they too common? I also have some Arum dioscoridis var. syriacum, and nice A. maculatum with lots of brown markings.

Can anyone identify this little darling, I found in Mizoram, India at 1370m. Growing amongst Ophiopogon japonicus and Mahonia sp.
Title: Re: Arisaema 2013
Post by: uvularia on October 24, 2013, 11:37:48 PM
There was also this one from the next mountain range. Also growing about the same height 1300m. Tending to grow in the clearings.

Welcome uvularia! I do like these fimbriate Arisaemas- not that we see many of them.

Your two might be album and fraternum.............. I think they'd correspond roughly to the area you saw them in.... :-\
Title: Re: Arisaema 2013
Post by: uvularia on October 25, 2013, 12:09:20 AM
Thanks Maggi. I love the A. album. Wonderful thing to come across in the forest. It seems that images of A. fraternum are quite variable on the internet. Is the leaf right for A. fraternum?
Title: Re: Arisaema 2013

This is another delicate one found on the same mountain - Mhui Fang. In deep shade.

Thanks Maggi. I love the A. album. Wonderful thing to come across in the forest. It seems that images of A. fraternum are quite variable on the internet. Is the leaf right for A. fraternum?

Not sure how many leaflets the one in thepicture has - but  fraternum should have  8 or 9 I think - plus I think the leaf tips of that are more acuminate and I don't see those wispy tips in your pic - so that is why I said it "might" be that.....I am no expert, far from it ... just giving a starting point for more research - or comments from others!
I do find these plants fascinating.

Post by: uvularia on November 09, 2013, 06:40:52 PM
Interestingly following contact with Pascal Bruggeman, it seems that the Arisaema from Reiek in my earlier post could be a new species or sub-species to India. The closest described similar species is in Thailand and China. Looks like I will have to go back and find it again. I was there in May, not a time I am normally able to get away!
Title: Re: Arisaema 2013
Post by: Maggi Young on November 09, 2013, 06:43:14 PM
Good news that you have made contact with Pascal B. - he  has studied Arisaema widely.

What a great excuse for another trip!

We are just heading back to India next week, but to Manipur not Mizoram, to explore a heavily forested  range of mountains in the west of the state. We explored the eastern border with Burma last year and were the first plant hunters in their since 1949. Frank Kingdon-Ward had been there then and the villagers showed us where he had camped with 60 porters. Amazing large tracks of forest there.
