Although there is still more fieldwork needed, this type is indeed currently considered Arisaema propinquum as Manudev suggests correctly. The holotypes and plants growing at the holotype locality of Arisaema utile suggest it is a bigger plant with broader leaflets, not to be mistaken with plants in the horticultural trade under that name which are brown-purple forms of Arisaema griffithii that grow in N Sikkim (Yumthang Valley).
