Arisaema consanguineum, the Himalayan cobra lily, is a species of flowering plant in the arum lily family Araceae. It is a tuberous perennial native to the Himalayas, Indochina, and China. A single stem, 1 m (3.3 ft) tall, bears a deciduous leaf with multiple radial leaflets. The flower is a deep maroon hooded spathe striped green and white. It appears in summer, and is followed by a cluster of bright red berries in autumn.
It is cultivated as an ornamental plant for a permanently damp, partially shaded or fully shaded, sheltered spot, such as a woodland setting. Though hardy to −5 °C (23 °F), the tuber may require protection during winter.
