Casus Pro Diagnosi - Arisaema Identification Page

This page can be used to put images of your unidentified species of Arisaema for discussion and review by specialists on the Internet. Additions will be published on Arisaema-L discussion list. Images, slides, photos of fertile plants are preferable including as much origin information as possible and can be sent to the Utrecht University Botanic Gardens (P.O.Box 80.162, NL-3508 TD Utrecht, The Netherlands). Replies about the images will be published as part of this page.

We (AEG) keep a list of identifications of the Kaichen (Chen Yi) and Tamang material (because of the many errors).

  1. Arisaema spec.#3 (det.: Arisaema fargesii) A slide taken in the Botanic Garden in the Rock Garden by Wiert Nieuman, no information was recorded for the slide and it is not clear if it is still in the collection. [see replies]
  2. unknown #6 (Kaichen#6, det.:Arisaema bathycoleum) from Marc Hachadourian: The anthers are a dark brown/red color, the leaf and the flower branch low on the plant only 1-2cm from the ground ang the whole plant is only about 18-20 cm high. [see replies]

  4. Arisaema cf. ternatipartitum, habit, female spadix, male spadix. Japan, Mt. Usukine, Tokio. Seeds received from Metr.Medic.Pl., Tokio, Japan. This one looks like a A.triphyllum?! [see replies]
