GREEN DRAGON (Arisaema Dracontium), a North Ameri can plant of the arum family (Araceae), found chiefly in low woods from Maine to Ontario and Minnesota and southward to Florida and Texas. It is a somewhat fleshy perennial rising from a cluster of acrid corms and bearing a single large leaf, a ft. to 4 ft. long, which is pedately divided into 5 to 17 oblong leaflets, and a single flower stalk (scape) ending in a spadix with a short basal flower-bearing portion and long, slender tip, sometimes 7 in. long, protruding beyond the green, tubular but not hooded ensheathing spathe. The fruit, a cluster of orange-yellow berries, ripens in the autumn. Because of its inconspicuous flowering parts, this interesting aroid, though abundant in many parts of its range, is much less known than its showy relative, the Jack in-the-pulpit (q.v.).
