The small, inconspicuous flowers of Jack-in-the- pulpit are borne on a fleshy, spike- like inflorescence called a spadix ("Jack"), which is enclosed (or nearly enclosed) by a large, sometimes colorful bract called a spathe ("pulpit").
Arisaema triphyllum sensu lato is wide-ranging across eastern North America, from Nova Scotia to Manitoba in eastern Canada, and from Texas to Florida in the southern United States. It is common throughout most of its range.
If the plant is cookedit can be eaten as a root vegetable. The calcium oxalate crystals produce a peppery flavor.[48]If the plant is sliced then dried it can be eaten like potato chips or ground into a flour.[49] uses
