Double-Whip Cobra Lily

10 Seeds

This species grows native from Nepal & Northeast India to south central China. It has exotic looking dark purple to chocolate spathes striped or marked white. The mottled or purple-blotched leaf stem bears a huge tropical-looking shiny palmate leaf, divided to look a bit like three leaves with reddish brown margins. It is called a Double-Whip Cobra Lily because it has two tongues. The first is at the pointed tip of the hood or spathe, the "tongue" common to Arisaemas generally. But much stranger is an unexpected tongue that extends from the head of the spadix or jack. To 60cm, this plant prefers a humus rich moist shady spot.
