Just found this; get one while it lasts cause it's one of the most wonderful forms I've ever seen: http://www.greenmilenursery.be/arisaemagriffithiidark.html (http://www.greenmilenursery.be/arisaemagriffithiidark.html)

Didn't find any trace of the Eranthis I went here looking for, and it was pouring down all day, but the many Arisaema auriculatum I saw here on Xiiling Xueshan made for a nice consolation prize. Alt. about 1500-2000m.

Oh my word! From the first time I saw this most charming little arisaema shown by the RBGE on their display at an SRGC Show, I have been enchanted buy it. The small stature and intricate shaping, matched with the finely maked stems and good foliage make it a real eyecatcher. How wonderful to see it in nature.

Bjørnar, It's a shame you didn't find any of the Eranthis but that A. auriculatum is more than a nice consolation prize, I would say. :)

Arisaema kishidae-

A good arisaema year has begun here, alot of new sp reaching flowering size and flowering for the first time, such as the stunning arisaema taiwanense, and also a very nice grifithii, sikokianum and ringens ...with much more to come :)

first image above was grifithii, then grifithii with sikokianums, and last was taiwanense....and here is ringens

Arisaema murrayi
Arisaema taiwanense
Arisaema thunbergii subsp. urashima
and Arisaema formosanum (from seeds collected in Cueifong) in flower.

I had sown this Arisaema 2012. The seeds were from wild collection with description Arisaema sp 636 CWT. Collected from NE Vietnam, en route to Fan Si Pan from Tran Son Pass 2100m. To 50cm, 13 leaflets.
I have grown it in pot and kept over winter in the root cellar. It comes up quite late in June (A.triphyllum comes up much earlier kept in the same conditions) and has now flowered for the first time.
What species this could be? I don't have many Arisaemas, it looks most like A.ciliatum to me (but I don't know them so well), but does that species grow in the location where the seeds were collected?
I planted one outside in bed in June, the other one is still in pot.

It is growing well, Leena - I hope we will soon hear from some of the Aroid experts on its identification and the species local to its collection area.

I have plants from that area from my own collections and I have consanguineum as the name. But, I have seen paridifolia applied to plants from that area. I saw true consanguineum in Arunachal in May and they were distinctly different in appearance with pronounced drip-tips to the leaves and relatively boring stem markings. They also did not have the strongly glaucous leaf backs that the Fansipan plants have.

Thank you Aaron. :) Let's hope this survives outside our winter, I will keep the other plant (or there are two in that pot) in the cellar for next winter until I see how the other one does outside.
-
This pot has me baffled. Obviosuly one Arisaema as sown but what are these two companions with no leaves? As anyone seen an Arisaema do this?
Meanwhile it has been a good year for the drippy-tipped A. consanguineum.

Tropical storm Bertha has passed us by. Headed tio the UK with some rain no doubt.

Cleaning up Arisaemas today and this one was in a clump of consanguineum but is a decidedly different looking bulb. That's a 5"/12.5cm label. Any ideas what it might be?

A message has come from Pascal Bruggeman (recently returned from another plant spotting trip to Arunachal Pradesh) who says " John can change his “possibly taiwanense” to definitely taiwanense on his label " :)
-
Many thanks Pascal and Maggi.

Hello John,
I think that your large tuber is consanguineum, I have quite a few various forms of consanguineum, and I find that as the tubers get older and larger they start to look like yours in the picture....they also become more white i find...I will post a few pictures of mine next week as I have started to dig up dormant tubers and clean them up as well, some have had a huge increase in size this season, some even by 60%! :)

I did not see the post above....my Taiwanense tuber that I used to have looked slightly different from yours, slightly longer and less round at the bottom...do you have a picture of your unknown tuber in leaf? taiwanense is usually quite distinct from consanguineum in having thin "threads" or what they might be called...at the end of the leaves...(see pic of mine in bloom earlier)

I have to say we paid no attention to this Arisaema in leaf. All we can tell you is the the stem had mottling but not as good as our othere taiwanensis. The latter by the way are still very much in full foliage. The tuber is indeed unusually flat on the bottom. We'll post a pic next year of it in leaf and of consanguineum when we dig the tubers.
Thanks

I have got this nice Arisaema rhizomatum in flower here at the moment.
