Just alone, unequipped without any fear of word WILD, she said she crosses more than 20 kms of way through dense jungle and finds out the wild vegetables from the forest floor, which is their natural food for routine. I am attaching a pic of her and the vegetation jungly suran Amorphophallus commutatus that she searched finally after a long walk. pl id this araceae member from Gujarat. This looks like the fruit of an Arisaema sp. possibly A.tortuosum locally called Sapkanda. I think it is Amorphophallus commutatus Thanks a lot … for your responses. ..., do you think the fruits and lvs belong to different taxa? I thought they are same. The lvs appear to be of Amorphophallus. I have also collected Arisaema tortuosum from the same locality (that i'll attach in separate mail). As the leaves are 3-sect, i think it should be Amorphophallus (whether the fruits & lvs appear together in this group?), as ... said. But couldn't reach species level id. Can i take … id (Am. commutatus) as final? it seems i have missed several valuable discussions before i join the group. i haven't seen flowers of this species. now i am convinced by a leaf photo by … in an earlier link.

Botanical name : Ammorphophallus commutatus marathi name : Shevla hindi name : jangli suran English common name : Dragon stalk yam. Family: araceae (arum) Flower stalk appears first just before the onset of monsoon. Flower stalks are edible. I do not about the nutrients it has. But the vegetable is tasty. Leaves appear later after rains. Now u will see these plants bearing the fruits. i have numbered the pics to understand the growth of the plant. Please refer to Common Indian Wild Flowers on page 114 for Amorphophallus commutatus. Thats the Shevla in Marathi. I read the article on Shevla and want to state that my mom who is now 87yrs old can still make the tastiest Amtee (curry) with this exotic vegetable !!!! Unfortunately, since we are now settled in Delhi we can only ask some friends in Mumbai in the months of May/ Jun to send these tasty vegetables if they can lay their hands on them !!! "

To be sure I will ask the person that will do the Amorphophallus treatment for the new and upcoming Flora of India and ask him to reply to the group. Stunning find! I would advise to check this against Am. commutatus. It is a very variable species with several subspecies. You also need to present pictures of the inner organs. If it can be well separated from all forms of commutatus, it may be a new species I feel almost 100% sure that your plant is A. commutatus subsp. brevipedunculatus The attached image is of Amorphophallus commutatus (Schott) Engl. var. anmodensis Sivad. et Jaleel, Rheedea 12(2): 159. 2002. I could not find a literature reference for the suggestion of Wilbert (ssp. brevipedunculata) but I referred ... to that exact variety anmodensis too as it was described from Goa and that is close to where this plant was found. Apart from Rheedea it can be found here too: Sivadasan is correct but I thought the name ssp. or var. brevipedunculatus had been published earlier for what is var. anmodensis. Will check that again. The last 7 days i encountered this flower twice in different parts of maharashtra. A week ago, i was in Jawhar (a tribal taluka in north Maharashtra) for workshop on bio-diversity conservation. Where I was served a ice delicious food prepared by this flower by a tribal family. Yestrday, me & ... were at Southern gate of SGNP, where I again saw this flower, locally known as Shevla. In English it is Dragons Stalk Yam and in scifi language it is amorphollus comoutatus Do you mean A. coaetaneus? In the morning, while posting I was having breakfast, so was typing with one finger. The right name of this flower is Amorphophallus commutatus. The link of the flower on INW is http://indianaturewatch.net/displayimage.php?id=98422 A Dragon Stalk Yam was seen in Nagla Block three weeks ago but my photograph is not as good as the one attached here.

Let us wait for comments - it will help resolve ID(s) of our plants. I too think that ... plant is different from that of ... posted, at least the variety. Looks like Amorphophallus smithsonianus to me. Correction, due to the lack of staminodes in between the male and female zone this is a pale form of commutatus. Smithsonianus has large staminodes present which this plant lacks.
Requesting to please ID this arum captured on the Silonda trail, SGNP in Mumbai in July 2013. There is confusion regarding whether it is Amorphophallus commutatus...
