Aroids (the family Araceae)

[BULBISSIME]

One of the clear forms of Dracunculus vulgaris

I received these two Arisaema as Arisaema serratum, the first one as ssp.serratum. They look pretty different. Any ideas about ID?

Hello Fred

A couple of aroids in flower today.

The first I bought as A. wilsonii I questioned this in another forum when it first flowered and it was identified as A. asperatum. If you think differently please say so

Fred a lovely form,I wait for mine to bloom. Here are two clones of Arum doiscoridis could be either what is called ssp syriacum or ssp spectabile but may now be called cyprium.

[bulborum]

Bought as Arisaema Arisaema engleri

is this name correct

I received these two Arisaema as Arisaema serratun, the first one as ssp.serratum. They look pretty different. Any ideas about ID?

Oleg, Arisaema serratum is a very widespread species in Japan and Korea and therefore highly polymorphic. Many distinct forms within its distribution range have often been raised to species or subspecies level and merged back into serratum again later on after additional research, showing how difficult this group taxonomically is asses. But both plants on your pictures are part of the serratum complex. Horticulturally distinct but taxonomically the same species. With so many Arisaema species, there often is no typical "species X" but many variants of the species. The second plant comes close to what previously was known as Arisaema mayebarae, one of the darkest forms of serratum

Really nice species everybody !

[Hagen Engelmann]

Roland, your A. engleri looks like my A. engleri. It blooms early and now it`s over. I believe the name is right. (Roland told me the right name)

[bulborum]

Hello Hagen

I just saw the name is not correct
I think it must be Arisaema engleri
I wrote it also wrong

Roland

[Tony Willis]

two pictures of Arum conophalloides var virescens which is now A. rupicola var virescens from near Lake Van in Turkey. I find this a pig to grow compared with the usual rupicola from the west of Turkey

[bulborum]

Hello Tony

Funny pigs you have on the top of the spadix 

Roland

[Hagen Engelmann]

Thank you, Roland. engleri is OK.

Here is Arisaema dilatatum.

[bulborum]

Hello Hans

I thought you where wrong with the name Arisaema dilatatum
but in the latest review of Arisaema
it is mentioned as Arisaema dilatatum and not as
Arisaema dilitatum
I found this name in Aroid Hardiness List from the
International Aroid Society and a lot of sites are using this name
but in an other part they used the good name
I think I have to change the name in my computer

Thank you, Pascal. A very valuable explanation
