Biarum tenuifolium ssp. abbreviatum

803_0524 - R [Biarum tenuifolium_ssp. abbreviatum]

 

This small perennial flower, that looks like an Arum,

is found in Central Mediterranean countries.

 

In Greece, specifically, it is found from July to November on the Mainland

where it favors stony slopes in heights of up to 1700m.

 

Its spadix and spathe are easily spotted from a distance

because they usually appear alone, without leaves.

The leaves appear before or after the spathe and spadix,

quite often, in rock crevices.

 

The pictures were taken on Filopappou Hill, facing the Acropolis.
