[Arisaema-l] facing arisaema?

[ANNE CHAMBERS]

Hi, Gene - I just can't open these zip files but it sounds to me very much like a form of tortuosum. I painted one many years ago just like you describe. The photos in the Gusmans' book don't show the pale blue colouration at all well. Some tortuosum have green spadix-appendages, others have purplish one with paler blue overtones. Totrtuosum has impressively patterned stems.

            Stem is mottled, resembling a snake standing on its tail. Dark rich green with brow-black mottling. Spathe like a deep green cylinder, spandix upward tail-like. Bottom of the spathe like it was dipped and frosted in blue. Same with the heavy spandix. Blue tipped.
            Did not see it in book Genus Arisaema.

What's a cool stem? What colour is the spathe apart from its blue bottom?
