Biarum aleppicum

A small tuberous aroid from Syria and neighbouring Türkiye. Like the rest of the genus, it has a summer-dormant corm and a ground-level, foul-smelling inflorescence. Grow it like a Mediterranean bulb: water from autumn through spring, give it a cool bright winter, and keep it completely dry in summer.

Where it grows wild

No species-specific habitat account was found. Biarum typically grows in rocky, often limestone ground, in rock crevices and gravelly soil in open steppe or among low scrub.

No wild records carry an elevation. The two climate sites are regional centroids, one at about 1,060 m in central Anatolia and one at about 570 m in the Syrian interior.
