Sapkanda, Jack-in-the-Pulpit, Whipcord Cobra Lily • Hindi: Bagh Jandhra • Marathi: Sardacha-jad • Kannada: Katu senai, Amu-mani-gidda • Konkani: Sarpache-kamdo;
.
Perennial herb with 2-3 pedatisect leaves with 5-18 linear-lanceolate segments, 10-15 cm long green to purplish spathe with gradually narrowed tip, spadix with very long curved brownish tail.
.
Arisaema concinnnum has an even shorter appendix that hardly prortrudes the spathe mouth. Apart from that, it is from a different section with a radiatisect leaflets (“parasol type”), not a pedatisect leaf like tortuosum or jacqemontii.
. A feature to look out for when comparing the leaves of jacquemontii and tortuosum is the presence of a rachis in tortuosum, a “sub” leaf stalk on which the lateral leaflets are attached, in jacquemontii the leaves are more or less attached to a central point, in tortuosum the lateral leaflets are attached to this axis. Although the axis can be short in some forms of tortuosum, it is always present. It is also worth noting that the flowers of jacquemontii are either male or female, the flowers of tortuosum are either male or bisexual. But for that you need to open up the spathe tube so that is side information. . As per efi thread : In N India and the Himalayas there is only one species that has a pseudostem with 2 or more pedatisect leaves showing a substalk (rachis) on which the leaflets are arranged AND an inflorescence with a upward facing, elephant trunk like appendix and that is tortuosum. …. The leaflets can be broad and often with ruffled edges (sometimes referred to as helleborifolium) or narrow and almost lanceolate (referred to as curvatum and predominantly present in W Himalaya). The pseudostems can range from all green to heavily striated showing the variation characteristic of widespread species. In S India the tortuose appendix occurs in more species with 2 having a single leaf (neglectum and sivadasanii) and 1 with 2 or more leaves (tortuosum). Both single leaved species are mostly confined to Maharashtra state but tortuosum occurs in more states. Sivadasanii is late flowering but still has a green inflorescence combined with a very short rachis whereas neglectum ranges from green to brown-beige flowered.
Arisaema From Solan HP : 8 posts by 4 authors.
This plant is Arisaema erubescens …. I am quit confident due to its typical leaf character This is the narrow leaved form of Arisaema tortuosum, previously described as Arisaema tortuosum var. curvatum. The broad leaved form was described as var. helleborifolium but both varieties are now considered to be extremes within the variational range of the widespread Arisaema tortuosum. Arisaema erubescens has radiatiasect leaves and a truncate appendix that does not portrude the spathe Arisaema tortuosum var. curvatum In current Arisaema research we are very hesitant to distinguish varieties based on leaf forms if the species itself is a highly polymorphic and widespread species, do remember that Arisaema tortuosum is distributed from Himachal Pradesh in the west of the Himalays to China in the east and further south in S India and Sri
Lanka and therefore shows many characters that do vary due to local growing conditions. The presence or absence of stem markings for instance. Or the color of the appendix. Only some local manifestations are sufficiently different to describe them as a variety like Arisaema sivadasanii which is now reduced to A. tortuosum var. sivadasanii. Arisaema neglectum which sometimes is described as a variety of tortuosum however is in my view a true species. DNA research has proved that the tortuose appendix of section Tortuosa is polyphyletic which means that, although species might have the same appendix and show visible similarities, genetically they are not necessarily closely related and that the upright appendix might have originated independently. Arisaema tortuosum var. curvatum and var. helleborifolium by most authors on Arisaema taxonomy are no longer recognised as separate varieties for more than a decade.

Altitude 2100mts Habit herb Habitat wild Plant height 18 inches season now may be Arisaema tortuosum Perhaps Arisaema jacquemontii A good link on Arisaema I also think this is not Arisaema tortuosum rather Arisaema jacquemontii This is Arisaema tortuosum. Forms from W Himalaya tend to have more narrow linear leaflets (previosuly called var. curvatum) than the broader leaflets of the E Himalaya forms (previously called var. helleboriffolium). They also occur at slightly higher altutudes in W Himalaya. Arisaema jacquemontii does not have an upward facing, elephant trunk like, appendix, its appendix is pointing forward or slightly bent downwards and does not extend beyond the spathe blade. Thanks a lot dear … for detailed analysis and pointing out larger number of leaflets. I find Arisaema curvatum Kunth (under A. tortuosum Schott. in FBI) described from the area in Flora Simlensis. It has 7-13 unequal pedate leaflets, linear-lanceolate; spathe pale green, finely ribbed, ending in long pointed tip; spadix ending into green tail like appendage (base purple), strongly curved near base and then turning up. I think this fits with this plant. Your expert opinion please. copying a link showing the picture of Arisaema jacquemonti. Am not sure if the source is reliable. It is definitely not A. jacquemontii, which does not have more than 7 leaflets. A. concinnum has almost dark brown spathe with stron veins. The description clearly matches with A. curvatum from Flora Simlensis. It is another matter whether this species deserves an independent status or not. …, The pictures source is reliable, that is indeed jacquemontii but do check the appendix of the flower in the background. It is not the appendix but the spathe tip that is prortruding upwards with jacquemontii, the appendix of jacquemontii is shorter than the spathe blade. Do also check some other pictures of this species on the internet and you will see the distinct appendix that is never as s- shaped turning upwards as the plant from … Arisaema concinnnum has an even shorter appendix that hardly prortrudes the spathe mouth. Apart from that, it is from a different section with a radiatisect leaflets (“parasol type”), not a pedatisect leaf like tortuosum or jacqemontii.
A feature to look out for when comparing the leaves of jacquemontii and tortuosum is the presence of a rachis in tortuosum, a “sub” leaf stalk on which the lateral leaflets are attached, in jacquemontii the leaves are more or less attached to a central point, in tortuosum the lateral leaflets are attached to this axis. Although the axis can be short in some forms of tortuosum, it is always present. It is also worth noting that the flowers of jacquemontii are either male or female, the flowers of tortuosum are either male or bisexual. But for that you need to open up the spathe tube so that is side information.
It is correct the plant from … is conform the description of Arisaema curvatum in Flora Simlensis but the distinctive character that set curvatum apart from tortuosum was the more narrow, linear lanceolate leaflets. In current literature Arisaema curvatum is not recognised as a separate taxon anymore and is a full synonym of tortuosum. Tortuosum is a very widespread species and as a consequence, highly polymorphic with many variants, both in the Himalayas as well as in S India. The flower shape and presence of the S-shaped upward appendix is always present, the main variation is in the other plant parts. The most important reason why all the variants are no longer considered separate taxa is that the variation seems to be continuous, the absence of stable characters or character-sets does not allow them to warrant a separate taxonomic status.
Hope this helps.

Any shots of plant habit would be helpful for the identification Thanks for reminding the attachment of pics showing plant habit. It seems to be a variant of Arisaema tortuosum to me..
May be some natural hybrid.. The basic sigmoidal curve of the appendix is still conform tortuosum. Although the spathe has an attractive purple blade and the end of the appendix has some contorted bends, it still falls within the variational pattern of tortuosum. The spadix appendix itself can be purple or green so that would not be unsual. For me the purple spathe is more unusual to see than the shape of the appendix as distinctly colored tortuosum are rare, usually there is some purple visible at the lower part of the spathe tube but not often the spathe blade is purple, a great find.
Araceae, Arecaceae and Zingiberaceae Fortnight: Araceae- Arisaema 10 for id from Chakrata:: NS Aug 10 : 7 posts by 5 authors. Attachments (1). Very narrow leaflets suggest A. tortuosum var. curvatum This is Arisaema tortuosum (Wall.) Schott. This plant shows indeed the leaf shape of what used to be known as var. curvatum. Tortuosum with narrow, thicker leaflets can mostly be found at the Western part of its distribution range. More to the east the leaflets get wider and thinner with more pronounced veination (previously known as var. helleborifolium), most likely caused by environmental factors (more exposed and drier conditions versus moist and less exposed habitat). Because of the wide distribution, and therefore considerable variation with intermediate forms, both varieties based on these leaftypes currently are no longer recognized and all are synonymized under tortuosum.

27 June 2015. It should also be Arseama tortuosum Thank you once again … I am not sure if … agreed with the var. curvatum bit. The stalk of this sample is not dotted with black spots but is plain light green. I think this is the same species. The fruit is here so I thought it good to confirm if it is indeed Arisaema tortuosum var. curvatum. It’s fairly clear that it’s A. tortuosum (as confirmed by Krishan Lal ji) but is it the var. curvatum? The narrow leaflets confirm it is the form previously named as (var.) curvatum but that form is no longer given a separate taxonomic status and is one of the many synonyms of the polymorphic Arisaema tortuosum. As a result his plant is just Arisaema tortuosum. For similar reasons (var.) helleborifolium is also just tortuosum. In the current treatment tortuosum has no varieties, forma’s or subspecies, it is just very variable due to its wide distribution range. Thank you … for taking the time to explain it. We have both varieties growing together here and the leaf shape, stalk colour and the fruit (growing on a stem and of a different colour) are all different. But now that you explain its polymorphism, it makes sense.
Is it Arisaema dracontium? No! I think it may be Arisaema tortuosum (Wall.) Schott as per thread That is indeed Arisaema tortuosum. This is Arisaema tortuosum (Wall.) Schott

Arisaema tortuosum (Wall.) Schott (accepted name) ?? Difficult with only fruits. This is definitely Arisaema tortuosum – quite distinctive fruiting heads and foliage. May I recommend on future occasions you remove a few seeds from the reddish/orange pulp and photograph these close-up. They are also distinctive, quite large for the genus and mottled. The seeds can then be placed in the soil near to the plant – you will have acted as a bird or other creature who would have eaten the seed and as it passed through its digestive system this pulp which contain germination inhibiting chemicals is removed and as the animal excretes the seed (often dispersed some distance away) it may drop somewhere where a fresh plant can grow.
Whilst the species is distinctive it exhibits considerable variation with a number of varieties recognised. ‘Enumeration of the Flowering Plants of Nepal’ says both var. tortuosum and var. curvatum are found – the former variety being widespread in the country from 1300-2900m.
Collet in ‘Flora Simlensis’ separated Arisaema helliborifolium (Arisaema tortuosum var. helliborifolium) and Arisaema curvatum. He said that A.helliborifolium is the first to appear (the plants die down completely over winter) sometimes coming into flower before the monsoon.
‘Flowers of the Himalaya’ give a range of Kashmir to SW China in forests, shrubberies and on open slopes. It is often the tallest of Arisaemas at times exceeding 1.5m.
‘Araceae’ for Flora of Pakistan gives a distribution of temperate and subtropical Himalaya, Baluchistan, Western China & North Myanamar.
Certainly a robust, prominent, large species found at the lowest levels of any Arisaema in the Himalaya.

I am not sure yet if they both should be considered the same species but for now they are treated as tortuosum.
