Arisaema triphyllum (L.) Schott Jack-in-the-pulpit, bog onion, brown dragon, Indian turnip, wake robin, wild turnip, jack-in-the-pulput
Jack-in-the-pulpits are generally between 15-30" (38-76 cm) high. The flowers on this plant are small, in the form of a spadix, a small column with tiny flowers. They are covered by a hood, from which the name is derived. Identification: The flower spike can be several inches in length, appearing in April to May. The hood (called the spadix) has zebra-like stripes on the inside. The leaves are in groups of three, looking somewhat like poison ivy leaves. The flowers turn to berries that become bright red in the fall. Edibility: Poisonous. Online References:
