Green Dragon -- Arisaema dracontium
Family Araceae (Arum family)
This wildflower is often found alongside Jack-In-The-Pulpit, but is
much less common. This species is hard to miss, producing a single
compound leaf 1-3 feet in height with 6-12 lobes and a hooded flower beside it.
This species is found from May to June and produces a fruit similar to that
of the Jack-In-The-Pulpit.
