Anne - and others who may have grown this - I got the original plant from
Washfield Nursery in Kent, as A. ciliatum CT 369 in 1992, and I believe that
they grew it from seed collected by Carla Teune in China.  But I have also a
letter from Dr. Simon Mayo to Mr. Michael H Hoog (which Mr. Hoog sent me),
written in 1985, saying that it appears to be a form of A. consanguineum
Schott, distinguished from the usual Himalayan form by its purple spathe.

It certainly is not distinctly ciliate, so far as I can see, but it is a
good nurseryman's plant as it produces masses of offsets, usually on
stolons, as well as some seed

I hope that this helps

Simon
