The subspecies of Arisaema triphyllum
In 1949, Huttleston gave formal descriptions of three subspecies of Arisaema triphyllum. He also described a fourth subspecies in 1981. These four taxa are members of a closely-related group of species now known as the Arisaema triphyllum species complex.

Huttleston’s papers are not readily available online. When I finally obtained copies, I discovered that the 1981 paper contained a comprehensive table of characters that is generally useful. That table has been reproduced in the following document:

Some notes and a brief glossary are included as well.
