Arum concinnatum, commonly known as the Crete arum, is a flowering plant species in the family Araceae.

Habitat

Arum concinnatum occurs in a variety of habitats including ditches, wet areas and Olea europaea groves from sea level to 350 meters of altitude.^[1] The species occurs from the southern tip of the Peloponnese to south-western Turkey, as well as most eastern Mediterranean islands.^[1]

Taxonomy

Within the genus Arum, it belongs to subgenus Arum and section Arum.^[2] The species is related to Arum italicum,^[2]^[3] with which it shares similar horizontally-oriented rhizomatous tubers and hexaploid chromosome counts (2n = 84).^[1]

A. concinnatum is often incorrectly called Arum byzantinum in horticulture. However, the true A. byzantinum is a smaller diploid species from NW Turkey with small, purple spadix appendices.^[1]
