Biarum tenuifolium ssp. abbreviatum

IMG_0322 [Biarum abbreviatum]

This small perennial plant that looks like an Arum is widespread
on stony grounds, (usually in rock crevices) of Central Mediterranean countries.
 
Its spathe and spadix appear leafless
from July to November in heights of up to 1800m.
The leaves appear in Spring.
It produces very small flowers
which grow along the spadix from October on.
 
In Greece,
it is found in the mainland, up to north Central Greece,
and on the island of Crete.
