What is Arisaema ringens

Arisaema ringens or Musashi abumi (scientific name: Arisaema ringens) is native to Japan, Korea, Taiwan and China and is a perennial of the Araceae family. Two large 3 leaves of bud leaves are attached, and a floral pattern lower than the leaves is put out from between. It has a Buddhist bract at the tip, and there is a pod inflorescence inside. However, since the Buddha flame braid is wrapped in a bag shape, both sides of the rim protrude sideways so that the floral inflorescence can not be seen. Buddha bract is dark purple or green with white vertical lines. It is said that the origin of the flower name is based on the fact that the shape of the Buddha bract is similar to that of the harness that was made in Musashi (currently Saitama, Tokyo, Kanagawa Prefecture).
