Sauromatum horsfieldii 'Lancelot' is a very special form of the Asian aroid, discovered by world renowned aroid researcher Alan Galloway in Loei Province, Thailand, where it grew on limestone rocks near the Laos border. The horse-shoe arranged leaflets look like an arisaema, but the flower, which emerges from ground level, resembles an arum...very odd! Sauromatum horsfieldii 'Lancelot' forms a much larger clump than the more typical forms, quickly reaching 1' tall x 1' wide. We think you'll really enjoy this in the woodland garden.
