Hello Christopher. I delayed answering you on this matter because  I was ==
busy and I had to reread  the Gusman reference, and go out in the yard =
to check on the plants.   To sum up. I think (thought) I had =
stewardsonii, because it has an outer ribbed surface to the spathe. It =
is smaller and more gracile than my other triphyllums...BUT...it does =
NOT have leaves with a shiny under-surface.   They are matte, glaucous, =
and not otherwise distinguishable from the other triphyllums I have =
except perhaps within the range of variations of shape of the leaflets.= 

Do yours have shiny undersurfaces?  Is the Gusman book incorrect on this ==
point? Are there perhaps two forms of stewardsonii? Anybody else?  More =
on this matter?

Subject: A. triphyllum stewardsonii


How many of you are growing this species/subspecies, and/or form of A. ==
triphyllum?
I consider this a unique plant, with the raised, white ridges on the =
outer part of the spathe.  The ones I have seen in the wild have always =
been on moist floodplains.  I had them planted in two different areas.  =
One near "normal" triphyllums died out.  Another which gets fairly =
regular watering has survived and bloomed each year but not increased =
much or set seed.  I know these love to be wet, and may try moving some =
into an undrained pot like I grow my Sarracenias.   A fantastic Arisaema ==
that is certainly worth growing!
