New Arisaema species

[WimB]

For those who are interested: a new Arisaema species has been described by Jian-Tao Yin and Guy Gusman, called Arisaema linearifolium. You can find the publication here: http://www.sekj.org/AnnBot.html. It's under Vol. 47 N° 1, the last document.
And you can find a colour picture here: http://www.vrvforum.be/forum/index.php?topic=60.0

A great plant all right! ;Why would Josef ask "Wat is dat?" He has been on the Forum before. Not often maybe, but certainly.

I think
a) he was pulling my leg or
b) sometimes it's not easy to remember what a certain abbreviation stands for...

Wim, good link and distinctive new Arisaema species... this is another group I can lose myself in... haven't even started to post on these.

By the way, I like the much more animated emoticons on the VRV forum.

On your first link: http://www.sekj.org/AnnBot.html there is tons of other choice goodies there, like the fabulous new Corydalis anthocrene... wow!  One could spend hours looking at all these new plant discoveries.

In the new Flora of  China this "new species" is now a synonym of Arisaema erubescens. Arisaema erubescens in the FoC should be A. consanguineum...in other words a taxonomic mess.

The one I am interested in is the one called Arisaema sp 'Gaoligong'.
There is a photo of it in The Genus Arisaema by the Gusmans.

The bottom part of the spathe is striped red and white, and the upper
part (the spathe limb) is bright yellow.

Has that one been named yet? or got itself into cultivation somewhere
even if still unnamed?

Diane, that is Arisaema muratae, named after the Japanese taxonomist Jin Murata. It was introduced through imports from Chen Yi, it is still not very common in cultivation but for instance Plant Delights Nursery offer it.

[Diane Whitehead]

Great!  thank you for the information.

The flower on the Plant Delights website is much paler than the one in the
book -  both the red stripes and the bright yellow are drastically toned
down.

Is that a result of the cameras used, the book printing, the webpage?  Which
picture is truest?
