Arum hygrophilum is a species of flowering plant in the family Araceae.[2] It has a disjunct distribution, found in Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Cyprus and Morocco.[3][4][5]
It is threatened by agricultural development and urbanization.[1]
Description
[edit]By relative inflorescence height, Arum species are divided into "cryptic" species, whose inflorescences are borne on a short peduncle amid or below the leaves, and "flag" species, whose inflorescences are above leaf level at the end of long peduncles. A. hygrophilum is a flag species.[6]
The species has a white inner spathe, which has purple accents. The small spadix is a dark purple color.
