The listings in TROPICOS are as follows:

for A. Angustatum


Arisaema angustatum

PLANT NAME: Arisaema angustatum Franchet & P. A. L. Savat.
TROPICOS #: 0023-01461
PUBLICATION: Enumeratio Plantarum in Japonia Sponte Crescentium ...
2:507. .
JOUR/BOOK ID: L04858

Arisaema angustatum v. peninsulae

PLANT NAME: Arisaema angustatum var. peninsulae (Nakai) Nakai
TROPICOS #: 0023-06355

and for A. peninsulae


Arisaema peninsulae

PLANT NAME: Arisaema peninsulae Nakai
TROPICOS #: 0023-01664
PUBLICATION: Botanical Magazine (Tokyo) xliii. 537. 1929.
JOUR/BOOK ID: L00555

Arisaema peninsulae f. alba

PLANT NAME: Arisaema peninsulae f. alba (Nakai) Vasak & E. Egorova
TROPICOS #: 0023-05359

Arisaema peninsulae forma convolutum

PLANT NAME: Arisaema peninsulae f. convolutum (Nakai) Y. Kim & S. Ko
TROPICOS #: 0023-06294

Note that Vasak & E. Egorova only appear in the alba form of A.
peninsulae.

This agrees with MOBOTs Arisaema list as well.

In the latest revision of Japanese species nearly everything, it seems,
was reduced to A. serratum.
Thus the listing in our species list. There are lumpers and there are
splitters. Apparently Ohashi and Murata (1980),and later Serzawa were
lumpers.

Search the species list for A. serratum and you will see all the species
names that were reduced in the revisions of Owhi

I'm a splitter and it was hard for me to go with all this revision.
However, I must admit that the genus nomenclature is cluttered enough and
generally a mess.
