Arum apulum, known as Apulian arum, is a flowering plant species in the family Araceae.
Arum apulum is a tuberous herbs that spreads clonally through discoid vertically oriented tubers. [2] Flowers are borne on a spadix. [2]
The species is endemic to Italy, where it grows in low scrub at altitudes of 300 to 400 meters in central Apulia. [1] [2] It is threatened by habitat destruction. [1]
Within the genus Arum, it belongs to subgenus Arum, section Dioscoridea, and subsection Dischroochiton. [2]
A. apulum is tetraploid, with a chromosome count of 2n = 56. [2]
The snowcocks or snowfowl are a group of bird species in the genus Tetraogallus of the pheasant family, Phasianidae. They are ground-nesting birds that breed in the mountain ranges of southern Eurasia from the Caucasus to the Himalayas and western China. Some of the species have been introduced into the United States. Snowcocks feed mainly on plant material.
Calla is a genus of flowering plant in the family Araceae, containing the single species Calla palustris.
Arum is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae, native to Europe, northern Africa, and western and central Asia, with the highest species diversity in the Mediterranean region. Frequently called arum lilies, they are not closely related to the true lilies Lilium. Plants in closely related Zantedeschia are also called "arum lilies".
Corypha umbraculifera, the talipot palm, is a species of palm native to eastern and southern India and Sri Lanka. It is also grown in Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand, Mauritius and the Andaman Islands. It is one of the five accepted species in the genus Corypha. It is a flowering plant with the largest inflorescence in the world. It lives up to 60 years before bearing flowers and fruits. It dies shortly after.
Dracunculus vulgaris is a species of aroid flowering plant in the genus Dracunculus and the arum family Araceae. Common names include the common dracunculus, dragon lily, dragon arum, black arum and vampire lily. In Greece, part of its native range, the plant is called drakondia, the long spadix being viewed as a small dragon hiding in the spathe.
The arum lily reed frog, Horstock's arum-frog, arum lily frog, or Horstock's reed frog is a species of frog in the family Hyperoliidae. It is endemic to South Africa.
Rohanixalus punctatus is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to Myanmar.
Anthurium bucayanum is a species of plant in the arum family, Araceae. It is endemic to Ecuador. It is an epiphyte which grows in coastal forests. It is threatened by habitat fragmentation.
Ambrosina is a genus in the family Araceae that consists of only one species, Ambrosina bassii, and the only genus in the tribe Ambrosineae. This species is the smallest terrestrial aroid in the Mediterranean, growing only to 8 cm tall. It is usually found growing in woodlands on north faces of hillsides and in humus soil that is covering limestone. It is distributed in Sardinia, Corsica, Sicily, southern mainland Italy, Tunisia, and Algeria.
A rheophyte is a plant that lives in fast moving water currents in an environment where few other organisms can survive. Rheophytes tend to be found in currents that move at rates of one to two meters per second and that are up to 1 to 2 m deep. The amount of force produced by these currents, and the damaging debris they can carry, makes this environment inhospitable to most plants. Rheophytes are able to live in such environments because their leaves are streamlined so as put up little resistance to the flow of water. The leaves tend to be quite narrow and flexible as well. Simply being an aquatic plant with narrow leaves is not a sufficient condition for being a rheophyte. In order to prevent being uprooted by the rushing currents, rheophytes have an extremely strong wide spreading root system.
Lasimorpha is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae. It has the single species Lasimorpha senegalensis. This species is native to western and central Africa, from Liberia east to Chad and south to Angola.
Peltandra virginica is a plant of the arum family known as green arrow arum and tuckahoe. It is widely distributed in wetlands in the eastern United States, as well as in Quebec, Ontario, and Cuba. It is common in central Florida including the Everglades and along the Gulf Coast. Its rhizomes are tolerant to low oxygen levels found in wetland soils. It can be found elsewhere in North America as an introduced species and often an invasive plant.
Amorphophallus titanum, the titan arum, is a flowering plant in the family Araceae. It has a large unbranched inflorescence; a tall single leaf, branched like a tree; and a heavy tuber which enables the plant to produce the inflorescence. A. titanum is endemic to rainforests on the Indonesian island of Sumatra.
Wolffia arrhiza, commonly known as spotless watermeal or rootless duckweed, is a species of flowering plant in the Araceae family, which includes other water-loving plants such as Arum and Pistia. It is the smallest vascular plant on Earth. Native to Europe, Africa, and parts of Asia, it has also naturalized in various other regions around the globe.
Zantedeschia albomaculata, commonly called the spotted calla lily or the white spotted arum, is a species of flowering plant in the arum family, Araceae. Its leaves are somewhat smaller, thinner and slightly more pointed than the larger Zantedeschia aethiopica—also commonly called the "calla lily"—and display attractive white speckling on their faces. The plant spreads laterally underground by way of a rhizome or tuber, with nodes that sprout and send-up new shoots. Its inflorescence is typical of the Araceae family, featuring a white, funnel-shaped spathe with a yellowish spadix in the center.
Arum hygrophilum is a species of flowering plant in the family Araceae. It has a disjunct distribution, found in Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Cyprus and Morocco.
Philodendron gloriosum is a species of philodendron, a genus of tropical flowering plants in the arum family, Araceae, known primarily from Colombia. Popular in cultivation worldwide, this species' distinctive, green foliage is characterized by a large, cordate (heart-shaped) form, velutinous (velvety) texture, pink leaf margins, and striking pale-green to white or pink-tinted veins.
Amydrium sinense is a flowering plant in genus Amydrium of the arum family Araceae.
Arum pictum is a plant of the arum family (Araceae), notable for being the only autumn-flowering plant of its genus.
Alocasia atropurpurea is a flowering plant in the family Araceae endemic to northern Luzon in the Philippines. It is classified as Critically Endangered by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species and has only been recorded in Mount Polis and an unspecified locality in the Mountain Province.
