   I have about 7, or 8 Jack-in-the-Pulpits planted under a giant cherry tree, in my woodland trail garden in Newport, NH. Two of them are about 23 inches tall, with the hood, and spadix being about 3-1/2 to 4 inches in height, and the top of the hood is about 2 inches wide. Do i have a different type of Arisaema triphyllum, or are they just really happy where they are growing?

   Thank you for your web-site, it has been most helpful in identifying many plants, and flowers.

      Hi, Tiffanie –
      Several subspecies of Arisaema triphyllum have been recognized at various times, but as of now all of them are “not accepted” by mainstream botanists, including ssp. quinatum, which I have listed as a separate subspecies on USWildflowers.com. I don’t know the characteristics by which botanists formerly defined those other subspecies (other than ssp. quinatum); possibly yours could have been one other than ssp. triphyllum, I just don’t know. As of now, however, they’re all classified as one species with no subordinate classification, so let’s just call yours “happy.” 🙂

      Thanks for your kind comments; I’m glad you find the website useful.
