This curious species of Arum varies considerably in stature, and in the number of leaflets. In general it attains a 
height of four feet, and each leaf consists of nineteen leaflets. The structure of the spadix is very singular, the middle 
being bent like a Roman S, ending in a long, ascending, and somewhat recurved apex. No part of the plant possesses 
„any disagreeable smell; and I believe the root is considered innocent, and even esculent, by the mountaineers of 
Nipal.
