Arisaema caudatum

A tuberous cobra lily from India that grows with the monsoon and dies down for the dry winter. Hardly anything is published on it, and its two climate sites are very far apart, so treat its temperatures as rough.

Where it grows wild

As with other Indian Arisaema, it presumably grows in deciduous or mixed forest and on shady grassy slopes, putting up leaves when the monsoon rains arrive.

No wild records carry an elevation. The two climate sites (215 m in central India and about 3,900 m in the western Himalaya) were chosen from the regions, not from collections.
