Dear Ray,
There is a color photo of this
species (the book lists two species in this Indian genus) in bloom in The
Genera of Araceae, Plate 129 B. It shows several inflor`s, all
shorter than the leaf, arising from spotted cataphylls, they have boat-shaped
spathes that are colored light brownish pink, carried at an angle off the
peduncles, the club-shaped spadices hang at an angle downwards out of the
spathe, pointing at the ground, they are purplish with whitish prominent
stigmas. Hope that this is of help.
Sincerely,
Julius Boos

>>Can anyone tell me what
the spathe looks like on the above re:aroid. I have
one with 4 '
tall with 4 stalks with peltate leaves . Thanks for any
assistance
given. Deni Brown's book does give a description on flower.Ray
