Abstract

The taxonomic identity of the rare Arisaema pierreanum Engl. has been disagreed by botanists, mostly due to the lack of diagnostic characteristics of its female inflorescence. In this paper, a detailed description of the species is provided based on our new living collections from the type location, Ba Den Mountain, by which we reconfirm its specific status and eliminate a former question about its possible conspecific form of A. roxburghii Kunth and A. harmandii Engl.
