Arum apulum
Also called Apulian Arum
Arum apulum is a tuberous geophyte from southeastern Italy that spreads slowly by its tubers and bears a spadix of flowers that smell of dung to attract insect pollinators. It is a wild species, rarely grown in gardens, and it needs a dry summer rest and a sheltered, free-draining site.
Arum apulum, known as Apulian arum, is a flowering plant species in the family Araceae.
The species is endemic to Italy, where it grows in low scrub at altitudes of 300 to 400 meters (980 to 1,310 ft) in central Apulia. It is threatened by habitat destruction.
