Dear Mr Garg
I have lost track of this posting showing a single image of ripe berries of an
Arisaema.
Rather than waste more time searching can you post the following information
and attached images:
Yes, given the location, Arisaema jacquemontii was always the most likely
species.
I can confirm that the image taken at Narkunda matches the fruit of this
species.
I am sending assorted images in support of this. Arisaemas can present
challenges identification-wisewhen at the fruiting stage as the foliage has
often died-down and sometimes disappeared altogether.Often though, there is
some evidence, no matter how shrivelled or partially-decayed of the leaves,
which is worthphotographing.
I would also recommend if one has ripe berries on Arisaema to rub the fleshy
pulp off a couple to reveal theseeds which can then be photographed against a
plain background, as these can be quite distinctive onceyou are familiar with
them.
The photographed seeds can then be 'planted' in the ground near to the plant to
encouragegermination - you will have been the equivalent of an animal eating
the fruits and its intestines removing thepulp which contains chemicals that
inhibit germination.
I understand Arisaemas such as A,consanguineum are known as 'Monkey Corn' in
the Naini Tal area.
There is one image attached from the lower Rohtang showing orange (partially
ripened) berries with a decaying leaf.
Four images from forest at the Jaloori Pass, also Kulu Valley, Himachal Pradesh
showing immature green berriesand foliage one leaf starting to yellow and
collapse.
Finally, a single image of ripe red berries photographed for me without a
macro-lens.
