Dracunculus
Also called Tracheophytes
Dracunculus is a genus of two species of a tuberous perennial of the family Araceae. They are characterised by a large purple spathe and spadix, often produced in advance of the pedate, dark green leaves often with white mottling. The open spathe is usually accompanied by a foul smell.
The best known species is Dracunculus vulgaris, which is sometimes grown in gardens for ornamental purposes.
