Arisaema stewardsonii

The swamp jack-in-the-pulpit of the north-eastern United States and south-eastern Canada, told apart from its relatives by a strongly fluted spathe tube. It lives with its tuber in permanently wet ground in bogs, swamps and wet deciduous woods, and needs a true cold winter dormancy.
