16. Arisaema cf. asperatum from Kaichen A-10

• Bjørnar Olsen (1 May 2003 ): Here are several photos (as a zipped file) of an Arisaema received from Chen Yi in October 2002 as A-10. Could you please pick those you think are best for identifying this Arisaema and post them on your ID page?
• Eric Gouda (8 May 2003): for me it looks very similar to the former with a shorter spadix-apendix more ending in a obtuse apex, so a my guess: Arisaema asperatum (Wilbert?)
• Wilbert Hetterscheid (Date:      9-5-03): This indeed is part of the asperatum-alliance, if not  tha species itself or more the form we know as A. wilsonii. This group is a bit of a blur so any definitive solution to species limits has not been presented yet. But if you label it as Arisaema cf. asperatum (meaning "likely to be" asperatum) then you're doing the right thing.
