In light of the recent discussion with Pudji Ji in a thread
<https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/indiantreepix/FrcqDVNQ95o>
it appears to me now that this plant may be *Xanthosoma*, cf. *X.
sagittifolium* (L.) Schott.

Illustrations and description can be found in Curtis's -

I think leaves and spadix perfectly matches with the above description and
illustration, except the ovaries which the magazine describes are of green
colour.

There is book with a few words on *Xanthosoma* in India -

Thank you
