A general term for the genus Arum, part of the Araceae family (APG classification: Araceae). It is a tuberous plant native to the Mediterranean coast and Western Asia, with 15 original species. Although it is a different genus, it looks very similar to konjac, and is planted in pots or flower beds by people who like unusual plants. It is planted in the fall, but in cold regions such as Hokkaido, fall planting is impossible. The main varieties are Italicum (white flowers) and Palestinum (also known as black calla, black-purple flowers). Both species bloom from late April to early May, with heart-shaped leaves, flowers (spatulas) that are green on the outside, and beautiful red fruits.
