This member of the Araceae family
was described by William Bertram Turrill in 1938. It is found on Crete and in
south-western Turkey, growing in a well drained soil with little to
some water and little to some sun. The bulbs can grow to four
centimetres, the leaves reaches five centimetres. The flowers are
crème coloured and might be covered in reddish-brown spots. They
will occur in autumn.
The genera name originates
from the ancient mane, used by Dioscorides - although is is another
genera. The species name honours Peter Davis, who collected the
material, used to describe the species. |
