Chris and Irisman,

Quite a bit. See the AEG Species list and the discussions on technique in
the archives.
There are quite a few natural and man-made Arisaema hybrids.

Not so. Arisaema are generally either male or female. The pollin comes
from a
different plant. The order of the flowers on the spadix is correct, but
not
for that reason.

There are many papers on Arisaema reproduction in the AEH Bibliography
and
at least 2 are available for download at the AEG Documents site.
