Arisaema atrorubens Blume. Aroideae. DRAGON ROOT. JACK-IN-THE-PULPIT. INDIAN TURNIP. North America. Cutler [1] says, the shredded roots and berries are said to have been boiled by the Indians with their venison. Bigelow [2] says, the starch of the root is delicate and nutritious. It must, however, be obtained from the root by boiling in order that the heat may destroy the acrimonious principle.

  2. Bigelow, J. Med. Bot. 1: 58. 1817.
