#wild arum

• Wild arum — A regional popular name attributed to certain herbaceous plant species of the Araceae family, characterized by tuberous underground rhizomes and specific inflorescences protected by an often colored spathe. In ethnobotanical terminology, the term refers to plants with medicinal or toxic properties, historically used in rural empirical remedies, closely linked to the morphology of plants from the Arisaema or Arum genus.
• 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.
