Arisaema takesimense

[Robert Hamilton]

Hi  all,

I  selected  some  Arisaema  serratum  seed  from the  Alpine  Garden
Society  seed list  a few  years  ago  and  when the  packet  arrived it
had  its  identity  number  as  well and  hand  written  Arisaema
serratum takesimense.  I  looked at  the  list  of  valid  species  on
the  A page  and  found they  are  separate  species.

The  first  of  4  seedlings  has  flowered this  spring  and  looks
different  to  serratum images  I  have  seen. I am  wondering  if  it
is  Arisaema  takesimense. I have  some  images but  am  not  sure  how
to post them  on the  identification  page.

By the  way   2 of the  4  seedlings  have  a pale  central  area  on
their  leaves.

Cheers,

Rob
