#Arisarum

• Arisarum — A genus of perennial herbaceous plants in the Araceae family, primarily distributed throughout the Mediterranean region and Macaronezia. Members of this genus are characterized by their relatively small size, sagittate or cordate leaves, and a unique inflorescence whose spathe fuses at the base into a tube, often resembling a monk's hood or a mouse's silhouette, giving them great ornamental and ecological value.
• Arisarum proboscideum — A species of perennial herbaceous plant in the Araceae family, native to the shaded woodlands of Italy and Spain, popularly known as the 'mouse plant'. This small-sized plant is remarkable for its unique inflorescence, whose purplish-brown spathe extends into a long, filiform, and curved appendage that strikingly resembles a mouse's tail, functioning to attract pollinating flies into the floral structure.
• Arisarum vulgare — A Mediterranean species of herbaceous plant in the Araceae family, commonly known as the 'friar's cowl'. The plant grows wild in stony soils, olive groves, and dry grasslands, easily recognized by its striped spathe in shades of white and dark purple, which curves at the top to form a hood-like structure protecting a long, prominent spadix.
