This unusual but easy to grow Chinese species of cobra lily was quite abundant in several areas that we visited during our 1996 expedition to Yunnan, China. The long narrow three-lobed leaves make A. yunnanense quite distinctive from other cobra lilies. The vivid green and white striped pitcher along with a green snake-like spadix peeking out from the opening, tops the leaf stalks in late spring.
