Arisaema galeatum

An Eastern Himalayan cobra lily from montane forest near 2,500 m, with a hooded spathe and a winter-dormant tuber. It wants cool, humid, shady summers and a cold, dry winter rest, much like other Himalayan Arisaema.

Where it grows wild

Shady, humus-rich floor of temperate broadleaf and mixed forest in the Eastern Himalaya, in the monsoon belt. Detail beyond this is inferred from related Himalayan species.

Recorded elevations cluster around 2,500 m; one climate site at about 4,200 m in Tibet looks too high.
