I think this one should be Arisaema tortuosum. Normally the whip-like cord coming from inside the throat (spadix appendage) is upright, but when the flower is past its prime, the cord droops, as seen in the pictures here. It should not be Arisaema intermedium because in that species the "hood" (spathe) of the cobra-lily has a 2-3 cm long tail-like tip, as can be seen in the following: http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/ArisaemaSpeciesThree The "hood" of Arisaema tortuosum, on the other hand, is pointed, but has no tail-like tip. To me, Ushaprabha's images appear to agree with Arisaema tortuosum. - Tabish
