Arisaema flavum is a species of flowering plant widespread across north-eastern Africa and southern Asia.

It is native to Ethiopia, Somalia, the Arabian Peninsula, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal, Assam, Himalayas, Tibet, Yunnan, and Sichuan.

The male basal part is slightly different; it is lightly yellow coloured and is 3–7 centimetres (1.2–2.8 in) long by 2–3 millimetres (0.079–0.118 in) thick.

The section is distinguished by subglobose tubers, 1-2 leaves with a pedate leaf blade, a small spathe, and nodding inflorescence.

It is preferred to other species of Arisaema due to its relatively acceptable taste, can be prepared within a short time, and is less perishable.
