Arthropodium strictum/Chocolate Lily is an edible species from the Liliaceae/Lily family and has a distribution on Australia’s East Coast. The tubers are edible and we cook and eat them as you would a small potato. The photograph’s below are taken of a plant from my garden, as the Arthropodium species are becoming endangered and wild harvesting is not advised. The species make a hardy garden or pot plant and can be propagated from seed or by separating the tubers or purchased through: http://www.potn.com.au, http://www.wildseedtasmania.com.au.
