The plant on the picture is past anthesis and the appendix is shrivelled up but is most likely Arisaema jacquemontii, a highland species. Tripartite leaves are rare in this species but they do occur. It is always best with Arisaema (or other Araceae) to cut open the spathe for details for identification but the length of the dried up appendix suggests it is closest to jacquemontii .
