I do not believe that there is such a thing as a plain Arisaema, dracontium
nearly fits the bill. After all, heterophyllum and tortuosum appear to be
much more striking "versions" of it. Sazensoo also, it should go back in
meditation. Good reason to give it a Zen-based name. >>

Are you sure that you have A. sazensoo? To me it is one of the most striking,
with a long black spathe limb extending out at a right angle. It is often
noticed by garden visitors.
