I feel fairly certain that what you've got is a rust, specifically
Puccinia podophylli. This is not the same one that affects Arisaema.
Have done a search, which identifies the beast, but provides no
information about its control...
Since rusts are fungi, you might try a fungicide or even cinnamon or
the baking soda recipe and see if you can kill or retard it before it
fruits and spreads more widely.
