Photographed on my property at Shahapur. Had not noticed it the previous weekend (23.7.13), so unfortunately could only photograph a withering flower.

Requesting ID of a herb growing decayed trunk of a tree in Odisha, Dec 2014.

It seems Typhonium trilobatum (L.) Schott

i don’t think it is t trilobatum and i don’t know what is it esp. the objects in the second picture… what are they? flower buds or seed capsules?
weird looking, don’t recall their looks
My interest is I see it around in parks with old trees and near where lot of junk collects

efi page on Typhonium trilobatum

I am very sorry, though T. trilobatum (L.) Schott is common here, I have not come across anything similar before. Moreover, I have seen them in open places or on garbage heaps, not on any decaying trunk.
May I know how big is this plant? What is the petiole and peduncle/scape length?
One thing may be considered, is that in Typhonium trilobatum the scape/peduncle is very short, just above the ground level. T. roxburghii should not be exception.
Theriophonum minutum Engl. var. chatterjee Haines is found in Orissa, and maybe common (ref. BoBO) – any probability?

link that … had given earlier :
check illustration of another species – http://plantillustrations.org/illustration=59890

shows herbarium sp pic that comes the closest…
ps may be some bosses at BSI know the truth…

Well, Didi, I do not know, or am not sure, if it can be a Theriophonum, however a revision can be accessed at – JSTOR and more illustrations

… Jstor is silly one has to register to read and then thew want money… or some such bottom like cant access full paper…to me that’s stupid science..Jstor is out as far i am concerned….
second link is already in your earlier
that’s what I referred to above as you have sent in…

Dear sir, Some character necessary identification viz.

1. Close spathe

2. Open spathe

2. Male and female flowers

4. Neuter flowers
My observation this species is Typhonium trilobetum.

Most likely Typhonium roxburghii Schott, the second picture shows the infructescence, the berries will not turn red when ripe but stay this pale color.

Thank you … but googling i did not find those fruits
only the red spathed ones
perhaps need to be searched longer deeper

Mumbai :: August 2015 :: Typhonium (??) for ID :: ARK2022-066: 3 high res. images.

This was clicked at SGNP, Mumbai, Maharashtra in August 2015.

Is it some Typhonium?

Requested to provide ID.

Maybe. I think experts can guide, with these images.

spath not is open but may be Typhonium inopinatum

Without an open spathe impossible to say with certainty but most likely candidate would be the widespread T. roxburghii, I have seen it myself in Maharashtra several times.
