Arisaema fimbriatum

A tropical Arisaema from southern Thailand and Peninsular Malaysia, including Langkawi. It is known for its spathe appendage, which is fringed with long purple threads. Unlike temperate Arisaema it needs warmth all year. It grows from a subglobose tuber with trifoliate leaves and can go dormant in drier spells.
