Dear dr. Singh,
I think your assesment is correct, this indeed is the fruit of Sauromatum venosum, the fruits are often half buried in the soil as can be seen on this picture: http://www.jmvanberkel.nl/nl/sauromatum-venosum-11-20091001.html They usually start to color from red to purple when fully ripe. In contrast to several other Araceae do the peduncles of Sauromatum not extend after pollination so the fruit will be at the same level as the initial inflorescence: close to the soil. A more compact form of S. venosum can be found in Maharashtra state, the Himalayan forms tend to be taller and more lush. Regards, Pascal From: J.M.
