Dear Ken,
The photo you have in hand shows a puzzling plant if taken in the Philipp=ines!
The spathe reminds of a SINARISAEMA. consanguineum-like.
There is one Sinarisaema in the Philippines called Arisaema polyphyllum, =but the spathe is always dark red, white striated! To my knowledge, the p=resence of a green spathe of A. polyphyllum has never been reported.
This suggests a lot of questions:
Is this a photo of a plant collected in the wild, in the Philippines?
Have you information about the leaf?
Are there more photos, you sent one only, of the spathe?
In any event, I am afraid it is not A. yunnanense because of the spadix.
The second species present in the Philippines, A. laminatum, is completel=y different.
Looking forward.
All the best.
Guy
