[Arisaema-l] Arisaema root structure

[Peter Taggart]

Thank you Ray,
 I have not found any other reference to the term "pseudo tuber" -which
suggests that it is not a botanical term but rather a description of the
rootstock of Arisaema. However I may have made a mistake in that here,
http://www.plantdelights.com/Arisaema-Jack-in-the-Pulpit-Cobra-Lilies/products/749/Tony
refers to "pseudo rhizomes" rhizomes, and "tubers" not "pseudo tubers"
but the paragraph seems to be much copied.
In any case according to this article by Tony Arisaemas have something
between rhizomes and tubers, possibly depending on the species involved? at
any rate Tony seems to refute that Arisaemas have corms.
