Pinellia tripartita
Also called Tripartite Green Dragon
Pinellia tripartita is a small tuberous perennial in the Arum family, native to East Asia, grown mainly as a shade-loving woodland or rock garden plant. Its key needs are partial shade, moist well-drained soil, and protection from heat and dryness during summer dormancy.
Pinellia tripartita is a species of Pinellia in the Arum family (Araceae). Purported common names include green dragon (the same as other members of its genus) and voodoo lily (the same as Amorphophallus konjac). A purple variety goes by purple dragon. It is found in Japan, including Okinawa, the Korean peninsula, and infrequently in eastern China.
