Arum alpinum SCHOTF & KOTSCHY, a good species well distinct from A. ma
culatum L. as well as from A. orientale M. B, by tuber shape and spadi
x and spathe characters, is distributed not only in central Europe, S.
Italy, S. France, Spain, and Crete but also in Evvia (= Euboea) and c
ontinental Greece. Specimens from around Istanbul remain doubtful (bel
onging rather to A. orientale than to A. alpinum).
