Arisaema brucei

A tuberous cobra lily described in 2010 from the mountains of north-west Yunnan, known from very few collections. Treat it like other high-elevation Hengduan Arisaema: cool, moist summers in light shade and a cold, dry winter dormancy as a tuber.

Where it grows wild

Known from a single wild record at about 2,570 m in north-west Yunnan; by analogy with related Arisaema it grows in the humus of mixed forest, forest margins and shrubby slopes. Specific habitat notes for this species are not available.

Single recorded site at about 2,570 m; the coarse climate grid sits near 2,050 m, so temperatures were adjusted for altitude.
