Arum apulum, Apulian Arum is a highly attractive species from southeastern Italy where it grows in Apulia in a small geographic area around Gioia del Colle between Bari and Taranto. Encroachment of its range by human disruption has led to it becoming increasingly scarce. It is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List.

Arum apulum is a modestly-sized Arum with deep-green hastate-sagittate foliage appearing in the autumn months followed by an inflorescence in the spring that has a pale lime-green spathe with maroon overtones and a brownish-maroon spadix. The coloration of the spathe is somewhat variable with some having more maroon leaving only a central green area. The fetid aroma that is given off by the inflorescence is distinctive but not as strong as it is in many other Arums.

Keep moist throughout the winter and dry during the summer when it goes into dormancy.
