About

Arisaema macrospathum, with no commonly used English common names other than those applied to all members of the genus -- cobra lily in Asia and Jack-in-the-pulpit in the Americas—is a herbaceous and perennial plant. The species is endemic just to Mexico. With monocotyledonous features, it is a member of the family Araceae.

Where it grows

Arisaema macrospathum occurs naturally only in Mexico. Within Mexico, it's found in mountains in the west from the states of Nayarit and Colima south to Oaxaca, and in mountains of the east from southern Tamaulipas south to Puebla.
