Arisaema ringens is a perennial inhabiting damp forest
floors in coastal areas or shady spots along valleys, with two
leaves and three leaflets; the terminal ones are 10-30 cm long
during flowering. Flower stalks, 3-10cm tall, emerge among petioles
and set spadices (inflorescence) on them. Spathes that enclose
flowers, ranging from dark purple to green, with white stripes, are
peculiar; adoral parts jut out like ears, swallowed up in a bag way,
and tips projecting. Bloom time: March-May. |
