Hi Debasish Joardar, I recentlty joined and saw this old thread. I can give some ID's which could help for future reference if you still need them: 1A & B = Arisaema nepenthoides 2 A, B & C = Arisaema speciosum, Arisaema costatum has a narrower red- purple striped spathe with a thin appendage and unmarked leaf and flower stalks 3 A & B = Arisaema griffithii, this is the lowland form originally described as Arisaema hookeri/hookerianum 4 A & B = Arisaema concinnum 5 A-D = Arisaema concinnum
Arisaema concinnum occurs in green forms and purple forms and anything in between. Regards, Pascal Bruggeman The Netherlands ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: [email protected] Date: 19 jun 2007, 07:57 Subject: Identification of Arisaema - regarding. To: efloraofindia As per concise flowers of the Himalaya by Oleg Polunin & Adam Stainton- they have not mentionedArisaemaciliatum, but these appear likeArisaemaerubescens as per plates & description. Can't 4A & 4B beArisaemaerubescens also, as the leaves appears quite similar, though the colour of Spathe is bit different? 1 to 3 appears to be what you have stated as per this book. Others may like to give their views. On Jun 18, 7:41 pm, Debasish Joardar <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > Let me introduce myself. I am a nature photographer from West Bengal ( > India).
