    This plant has popped up among the ferns in my garden. It is currently about two feet tall. It has two strong, smooth stems that start from one point and only three giant leaves at the very top of each stem. The green berry cluster is located where the stems branch out at the bottom, and is approximately 3 inches in length now. Any help identifying this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Arum italicum is a strong contender, but without seeing the flower (which would have preceeded even the strongly-divided leaf) it's very difficult to tell.

    Leaf structure and location of fruit spike more on the order of Arisaema.

    Thank you both!! Now that I've been able to do a more focussed google search, it does seem very similar to some of the Arisaema photos I've found.

    Thanks!!
