I have no reference for the combination "A. elephas var. dilatatum".  Can
someone point me in the right direction for that please.  According to my
notes of discussions with Li Heng "The type specimen of Arisaema dilatatum
is similar to A. wilsonii but A. dilatatum can be distinguished from latter
in having smooth petiole and peduncle, not verrucose."

As far as I am aware Buchet's publication still stands.
