petit precheur - jack in the pulpit

L'Ariséma rouge-foncé, est communément appelée Petit prêcheur ou Oignon sauvage (Arisaema triphyllum). Son odeur d'eau stagnante est réputée pour attirer les moustiques. Les Amérindiens guérissaient leurs coliques en buvant l'eau où avaient macéré les rhizomes de l'Ariséma.

The common name Jack-in-the-Pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum), is indicative of the plant's appearance. Its "aroma" of stagnant water is useful to attract mosquitoes. First Nation Indians used it to cure their stomach aches by drinking the water in which they had boiled the roots of the plant.
