Arum - Araceae (Taxonomy, Characteristics, Distribution, Images)

Arum

Arum comprises a family of plants often recognized for their distinctive spathe and spadix, a unique flowering structure enveloped by a leaf-like bract. These plants typically thrive in humid, shaded habitats, allowing them to absorb moisture effectively. Their broad, often glossy leaves enable efficient photosynthesis under the forest canopy, adapting well to both ground and epiphytic living.
