Arisaema consanguineum, the Himalayan cobra lily, is a
spathe striped green and white. It appears in summer, and is followed by a cluster of brilliant red berries in autumn.[1]
It is cultivated as an ornamental plant for a permanently damp, sunny or partially shaded, sheltered spot, such as a woodland setting.[2] Though hardy to −5 °C (23 °F), the tuber may require protection during winter.
It is reported to cause indigestion and skin irritation if handled.[1]
Distribution
It occurs in China, Taiwan, India, Myanmar, Bhutan, Nepal and Thailand.[3]
