Arum byzantinum is a species of flowering plant in the family Araceae. It was described in 1836. [1]
Arum byzantinum is a small tuberous herb that spreads clonally through horizontal rhizomatous tubers. [1] Flowering takes place from late May to early June; flowers are borne on a spadix that produces an unpleasant smell. [1] Spadices are 4.5–10 centimetres long and have club-shaped, purple appendices. [1]
The species is endemic to northwest Turkey, where it grows in deciduous woodland, hedgerows, and damp areas. [1]
Within the genus Arum, it belongs to subgenus Arum, section Arum. [1] A. byzantinum is diploid, with a chromosome count of 2n = 28. [1]
The species should not be confused with Arum byzantinumSchott, a junior synonym of Arum concinnatum Schott. Although often sold as A. byzantinum in the horticultural trade, A. concinnatum is a more widespread, larger hexaploid species with large, yellow spadices. [1]
The Araceae are a family of monocotyledonous flowering plants in which flowers are borne on a type of inflorescence called a spadix. The spadix is usually accompanied by, and sometimes partially enclosed in, a spathe. Also known as the arum family, members are often colloquially known as aroids. This family of 140 genera and about 4,075 known species is most diverse in the New World tropics, although also distributed in the Old World tropics and northern temperate regions.
Philodendron is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae. As of September 2015, the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families accepted 489 species; other sources accept different numbers. Regardless of number of species, the genus is the second-largest member of the family Araceae, after genus Anthurium. Taxonomically, the genus Philodendron is still poorly known, with many undescribed species. Many are grown as ornamental and indoor plants. The name derives from the Greek words philo- 'love, affection' and dendron 'tree'. The generic name, Philodendron, is often used as the English name.
Anthurium is a genus of about 1,000 species of flowering plants, the largest genus of the arum family, Araceae. General common names include anthurium, tailflower, flamingo flower, and laceleaf.
Arum maculatum is a woodland flowering plant species in the family Araceae. It is native across most of Europe, as well as Eastern Turkey and the Caucasus.
Lysichiton is a genus in the family Araceae. These plants are known commonly as skunk cabbage or less often as swamp lantern. The spelling Lysichitum is also found. The genus has two species, one found in north-east Asia, the other in north-west America.

Arisaema triphyllum, the Jack-in-the-pulpit, is a species of flowering plant in the arum family Araceae. It is a member of the Arisaema triphyllum complex, a group of four or five closely related taxa in eastern North America. The specific name triphyllum means "three-leaved", a characteristic feature of the species, which is also referred to as Indian turnip, bog onion, and brown dragon.
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".
Sauromatum venosum is a species of plant in the arum family, Araceae. It is native to Asia and Africa, where it grows in forests and riparian meadows.
Biarum is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae. It is composed of plants that are native to the Middle East, southern Europe, and North Africa. Biarum are often found growing in rock crevices and graveled soil composed largely of limestone.
Anaphyllum is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae. It consists of two species. They are found in marshes, have leaves with some pinnation, and have a twisted spathe. The two species in this genus are similar in appearance to those in the genus Anaphyllopsis.
Gorgonidium is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae. It is native to South America. The spathes tend to be purple and the fruits are black.
Remusatia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae. It contains 4 known species, one of which was described in 1987. This species was initially placed in genus Gonatanthus called Gonatanthus ornatus. After the genus had been sunk into Remusatia its new name was Remusatia ornatus, but it was later changed to Remusatia hookeriana.
Pothoideae is a subfamily of flowering plants in the family Araceae. These plants are commonly called the true aroids. This group includes the houseplants commonly called peace liles which are select species from the genus Spathiphyllum.
Arisaema quinatum is a species of flowering plant in the arum family Araceae. It is a member of the Arisaema triphyllum complex, a group of closely related taxa in eastern North America. The specific name quinatum means "divided into five lobes", a reference to its characteristic leaves. It is commonly known as the southern Jack-in-the-pulpit but some refer to it as Preacher John.
Arum italicum subsp. canariense is a flowering plant subspecies in the family Araceae.
Arum italicum subsp. albispathum is a flowering plant subspecies in the family Araceae.
Arum concinnatum, commonly known as the Crete arum, is a flowering plant species in the family Araceae.
Arum creticum, the Cretan arum, is a species in the flowering plant family Araceae, native to the Greek island of Crete (Kriti), the Eastern Aegean Islands, and southwestern Turkey. This semi-evergreen clump-forming tuberous perennial has large arrow-shaped leaves. Erect folded-back spathes of fragrant yellow or cream appear in spring, with longer narrow spadices of a darker yellow. The flowers are followed in autumn by clusters of red or orange fruit. The plant reaches 50 cm (20 in) tall and broad.
