I haven't come across this name as a Trade name nor as a synonym Evan. It seems to be one of those names the trade had conjured up for a form of the species, there is a bigger form of speciosum.

On Aroid.org it has been listed as a 'legacy entry' which is not an officially named variety.

The RHS doesn't recognise it, there are three varieties listed of which only one is accepted and recognised.

I think the common name is being used, it is mentioned as "Giant Himalayan Cobra Lily" here..

This site says it's Arisaema speciosum var. magnificum although their spelling is way off! That is not found in literature, Arisaema speciosum var. mirabile is which I think would be the bigger one.

Arisaema speciosum 'Himalayan Giant' is an amazing form of Arisaema speciosum, which often goes by the invalid name of Arisaema speciosum var. magnificum. It is simply a giant race of Arisaema speciosum discovered in India

I'm only finding results from the US using this, if you want to add it I would put it as a common name "Giant Himalayan Cobra Lily"
