[Arisaema-l] Arisarema taiwanense ID question

[Charles Hunter]

In 2011 I received from the AEG Seed Exchange and planted in the garden seed
marked "#16 Arisaema taiwanense". I have my first bloom from that seed right
now, but the inflorescense does not resemble the red-brown ones of my 2
mature plants of this species. My bloom on the seedling is green and has a
very long tail on the spathe limb (see first photograph).

 

Also the spadix appendage looks a little different, being thinner and less
blunt at the end. See photos 3 and 4 attached. 4 was with me holding the
spathe limb up to reveal inside.

 

My 2006 Gusman book does not say that A. taiwanense comes in green, but only
mentions the red-brown inflorescense (p. 407). 

 

Drip tips on leaves resemble my mature taiwanense, not as long as my
consanguineum (consanguineum is not up yet here). See second photo.

 

Please take a look at pictures- is the a variety of A. taiwanense, or
another species? Flower resembles the Gusman picture of A. concuimmum on
page 366.
