Green Dragon (Arisaema dracontium): Native Jack's Long-Tongued Cousin

Green Dragon (Arisaema dracontium) is a striking native woodland perennial related to Jack-in-the-Pulpit. Its single, large, compound leaf is divided into 5-15 leaflets radiating like a hand. The flower is a slender, green spadix with a long, tapering tip protruding from a narrow green spathe — resembling a dragon's tongue. Red berries follow in late summer.
