Canadian Zone 5 Arisaema tubers

[George R Stilwell, Jr.]

Rand,

A. sikokianum comes in the two forms you mentioned (entire leaflet and
serrate leaflet). They were once described as forma or subspecies, I
forget which, but the trait is not genetic. Either form will produce
seed giving rise to both forms. So, the idea was dropped. It's just the
normal variability of the plant as is the mottling of the leaves, some
really variegated, others almost none. This too is not a genetic trait.

If you have seed, remember the seed distribution and send them to Craig
Stubbs. The distribution is only as good as you members make it by
contributing seed.
