Arisaema spathes wrap sometimes to the right,  sometimes to the
left. Can anyone give me a good botanical term for this? A
picture showing
the phenomenon in A. candidissimum is at

The cause of this "handedness" also interests me, but I suspect
that is beyond the official realm of discussion on Taxacom. 8-)
