Arisaema seed

[George R Stilwell, Jr.]

Joyce,

Your concern about the A. candidissimum may not be based in fact
depending on how
long they have been in a waterlogged condition. Commercial growers often
soak these
seeds for a few days before planting.

You might note that A. speciosa is really A. speciosum. The gender has to
match Arisaema
so proper Arisaema species names don't end in "a". Some old obscure
synonyms do violate the latin,
however.

The sensitive one when it comes to wet soil is A. sikokianum. I think
more of these seedlings
have been killed by wet conditions than anything else.
