Botanical name: Amorphophallus dunnii Family: Araceae (Arum family)
Chinese Voodoo Lily is an arum with a peculiar flower stalk that reaches 2 ft tall,
topped with a 8-10 in ice cream cone-like flower. The spathe looks like a
green-and-white speckled cone. The creamy white spadix, the appendage
carrying the actual flowers, its inside the spathe. The 2 ft tall speckled
stalk is topped in summer with typical Arum foliage. This fast-offsetting
species is easy to grow. Chinese Voodoo Lily is native to China, Thailand
and N. Vietnam. It is cultivated in NE India.
