Tony,

Thanks for the information. It is interesting that most of the
description I found were of a greeny-yellow flower (or chatreuse and
yellow) and didn't mention any red flush. The pic I found had a red
flush to it, but with the more open flower like pedatissecta. The
difference in descriptions and pic was one reason I did want to find out more.

Out of interest, while we're discussing Pinellia...... IS P.
tripartita 'Atropurpurea' actually P. tripartita? While the leaves
are the same shape, the growth habit, height of flowers, flower form
etc (the stright species for example has a flare around the edge of
the spathe, while the 'Atropurpurea' flower is far more open and
without any sign of the flare along the edge) are just so different
to the straight species that I have always wondered whether it
actually is purely that species?

Thanks again for the info.

Cheers.
