This is surely one of the strangest flowers on the planet. The broad spathe (the "pulpit") is scrolled under itself to produce a structure that has been termed "reptilian"; it could easily be used as a prop in a low-budget thriller featuring aliens or mutant animal life. The leaves are 3-parted. This species needs a very well-drained soil in shade, in a position where it will not be wet in the summer. It is not a plant for hot summer climates. USDA Zones 5-7 (5-9 on the west coast).
