Description
The two leaves in this species are each divided up into between eight and eleven leaflets which sit alongside the inflorescence.
The spathe is large for the size of the plant, the central third is greenish-white but the remaining two thirds is a deep, rich purple-brown striped with white.
In the centre of the spathe, and in perfect contrast to the white stripes, sits a deep purple-brown Indian-club spadix, this ‘clavate’ shape gives the plant its Latin name.
Not often seen or available but this is easy in standard Arisaema conditions, out in the garden.
