    Taxon info

    Arum creticum is fairly common on Kriti and Karpathos, extending to the island of Simi and adjacent parts of SW Anatolia, growing in rocky places and ravines, generally at low and moderate altitudes but occasionally ascending to 2000 m in Kriti. The spathe is usually lemon yellow, but a white form is also known. A related species, A. idaeum, is confined to high altitude in Kriti. These two differ from other Greek Arum species in lacking sterile flowers.A
