Dear Muthu,
That is a form of the widespread and variable Arisaema leschenaultii. It is distributed throughout the southern states (Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu) and Sri Lanka and the most common Arisaema in S India. The form on the pictures is very close to the form of the holotype that was collected near Ooty. Local name I think would be "kidaran". Regards, Pascal From: J.M.
