Arisaema cordatum

A seldom-grown southern Chinese Arisaema from the lowlands around Guangdong and Hong Kong, a tuberous understory plant of warm, humid forest. Most of its growing information has to be inferred from the genus and the measured climate: a hot, very wet summer and a cool, dry winter.
