Ray,
>A little more description please. Do they have one leaf or two? ......
2 leaves with 5 - 6 leaflets per leaf arranged digitately, almost exactly
like fig.3 of the 1st edition of Pradhan's book.
>How tall are the plants, are the leaves glaucous, what shade of green,
>etc.?
leaves 18inches tall with thespathe taller still. The leaves are mid green
above and paler/glaucous below (they are nearly over now so colours are
probably not very accurate)
>Do you mean the berries have white ribs or stripes?
The berries have 8 - 9 white stripes from tip to bottom which show up much
more strongly on the green, unripe berries and virtually disappear as they
ripen. There are up to 9 or so seeds per berry
>Are both plants alike?
yes
>You could post a picture of them on Eric Gouda's Arisaema ID page.
Sorry, I do not have a digital camera, and it is just unfortunate that I
missed them flowering.
