Biarum rhopalospadix

A small Greek endemic Biarum, a tuberous aroid that grows in winter and spends the hot, dry summer dormant underground. Little has been published on this species alone, so treat it like other Mediterranean Biarum: bright light and cool, moist conditions while in leaf, then a warm, dry rest.

Where it grows wild

In the genus, plants grow in open stony ground, rock crevices and limestone gravel in Mediterranean scrub and grassland. The recorded sites near Athens, Aegina and the Peloponnese fit that pattern.

Recorded from near sea level to about 800 m in southern Greece.
