Sorry I took so long responding. The undersurfaces are smooth, perhaps g==
laucous although (without too much study) it does not stand out. However==
, those ribs are distinctive. When they are happy, they can get pretty b==
ig, maybe not as large as the largest triphyllums, but as big or bigger t==
han many. However, in my garden they are not quite that large. In the w==
ild I have only seen them on floodplains or areas receiving above average==
moisture. They should be happy this year. The weather in NJ has been ==
the exact opposite of last year. After a very dry early spring, we are ==
now having frequent storms.

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 m==
ore gracile than my other triphyllums...BUT...it does NOT have leaves wit==
h a shiny under-surface. They are matte, glaucous, and not otherwise di==
stinguishable 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 o==
n this matter?

Subject: A. triphyllum stewardsonii
How many of you are growing this species/subspecies, and/or form of A. tr==
iphyllum?
I consider this a unique plant, with the raised, white ridges on the oute==
r 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 ne==
ar "normal" triphyllums died out. Another which gets fairly regular wate==
ring has survived and bloomed each year but not increased much or set see==
d. I know these love to be wet, and may try moving some into an undraine==
d pot like I grow my Sarracenias. A fantastic Arisaema that is certainl==
y worth growing!
