Arisaema constrictum

A Sri Lankan Arisaema described by E. Barnes in 1936 and very poorly known, with no georeferenced wild records. Its care has to be inferred from the genus in Sri Lanka and southern India, where species are shade-loving tuberous herbs of moist forest, mostly in the hills, that die back in the dry season.

Where it grows wild

Not documented. Sri Lankan and south Indian Arisaema typically grow on the moist floor of montane or submontane forest, among leaf litter in shade.

Unknown; congeners in Sri Lanka are mainly hill and montane plants.
