Arisaema peerumedense J.Mathew

• Genus: Arisaema
• Botanical Background: Described by botanist J. Mathew, this species has contributed to a deeper understanding of Arisaema diversity. Its discovery has been important in revising classifications within the group

• Geographical Range: Native to specific high-altitude regions, likely within parts of the Eastern Himalayan or similar montane zones
• Environment: Thrives in humid, forested slopes with well-drained, organic-rich soils. The species is adapted to cloud forest conditions

Leaves

• Large, deeply lobed leaves 
• Glossy texture
• Subtle variegation

Inflorescence (Spadix & Spathe)

• Spathe displays a cream to pale green hue with hints of purple
• Compact spadix is designed to attract specialized pollinators
• Not strongly scented

Growth Habit

• Terrestrial
• Emerges from a rhizomatous base
• Form clumps over time

Light Requirements

• Bright, indirect light, mimicking the dappled sunlight of a forest understory

Watering & Humidity

• Regular watering is essential
• High humidity; regular misting or placement in a humid environment
• Avoid waterlogging

Soil & Potting Mix

• A rich, loamy soil that drains well
• A  mix supplemented with organic matter and perlite

Temperature & Fertilizer

• Maintain moderate temperatures typical of its native montane climate
• Balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every few weeks to support vigorous growth

Division and Cuttings

• Most commonly achieved through the division of the rhizome
• Dividing established clumps during the dormant period

Seeds

• A period of cool stratification is required to break dormancy
• Should be sown in a controlled environment

Typical Issues

• Spider mites and aphids
• Root rot

Treatment Recommendations

• Mild insecticidal soap
• Adjust watering practices
• Organic treatments
  

• May feature in local folklore and is valued for its role in attracting specialized pollinators
• Unusual floral structure has also been a subject of interest in botanical studies
• Prize for its rare appearance and unique leaf and flower morphology

Wild Population Status

• Limited distribution and specialized habitat requirements, the species may be vulnerable to habitat loss

Market Availability

• Rare
• Primarily available through specialist nurseries and botanical exchanges
