Dear Dr. Balkar, This is the narrow leaved form of Arisaema tortuosum, previously described as Arisaema tortuosum var. recurvatum. The broad leaved form was described as var. helleborifolium but both varieties are now considered to be extremes within the variational range of the widespread Arisaema tortuosum. Arisaema erubescens has radiatiasect leaves and a truncate appendix that does not portrude the spathe mouth, this in contrast to the tortuose (elephant trunk like) appendix of the plant on the pictures.
