Arisaema laminatum

A tropical Malesian Arisaema, described by Blume in 1836, ranging from Malaya and Sumatra to Java, Borneo, the Philippines and the Lesser Sundas. Unlike temperate Arisaemas it lives in an evergreen, cool-tropical montane climate, so treat it as a shade-loving forest plant without a cold winter.
