Hi Arnold,

An arisaema received from Chen Yi in China. Very large leaf obscures
the spathe below.

I think this is probably Arisaema franchetianum. The fargesii,
franchetianum, bogneri complex is very confused. Some taxonimists
suggest they are all one species. Gusman in his recently published
book recognises fargesii and franchetianum.
What I grow as franchetianum also has really glossy green
leaves like your plant.

Cheers ,
