I found a lone specimen of this today. I looked around to see if there was another but didn’t find any more. I think this is Sauromatum venosum. Please advise.

Sauromatum venosum

It remains leafless during the flowering phase and will develop leaves in the end of June.

I still think the same. Let the leaves expand fully and become pedate. I can also post the photographs of leaves.

Wonderful

you got it

just by looks... it matches the pattern of the umbrella like curvy "stem"
on which the serrated leaflets are growing, and the veins are  too.

Dave's garden site shows leaves upfront as soon as the link opens up.
http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/2055/

the kew url above : one has to open the button for more info to see the leaves.


the dx is correct then
wonder what would Anil's opinion be now, ANIL
let us know please.

did frutis ever develop

I dont know the natural history of this plant
May be Anil can tell us?

Respected Usha Di,

I still remain with my first opinion:- Sauromatum venosum only.
Baba Ram Dev Ji call it Telia Kand and working on its anti-cancerous
properties.
Ashwini ji can search for its fruits which remain at the ground level
and may be half inside.

With best of regards,

I will go and look if I can find the fruits. Do I need to dig a little to find them?

Negative. Have observed only this colour, but according to Dr. Almeida the berries could also be red.

nice to see the young fruits (green)
thanks for the follow up

lets see what they turn to  --- color-wise
esp since Neil said Dr Almeida mentions  color red for the berries.
and if there are many, may be you can dig one.. to look at the rhizome.

I was glad to find two flowers of S. venosum growing side by side. I peeled the spathe to reveal the male and female flowers (since the plant is quite common in our area, I took the liberty!). Here are the results.

Sauromatum venosum
