• From: Daniel Hanspach UNDP@comenius.cz   (Date: Mon, 3 Apr 2000 ): I would like to ask you for a kind assistance in identifying the attached picture of Arisaema, that came this winter from Chen Yi as A 77 A. aridum, which it is not. My tentative tip would be Arisaema engleri, but pictures of it avaiable on the internet are only close to such appearance, not exactly the same. I would appreciate very much your comments to this picture and advice where to send some other forthcoming pictures of Chen Yi plants for discussion and clarification.
• From: Guy Gusman ggusman@ulb.ac.be (Date: 04 Apr 2000 ): Yes, it is A. engleri. Look inside the spathe, you'll see a white spadix appendage. A. aridum has a green spathe and a spadix appendage long exserted from the tube. 
• Name: Bonaventure W. Magrys magrysbo@shu.edu (Date: 06 Apr 2000): This looked much like the A-28 listed as sikokianum var serratum (serratum) that I bloomed, including the white appendege. I can't tell from the picture the leaves, but do the reach 5-part division with serrated margins?
