Arisarum vulgare

801_1663 [Arisarum vulgare]
 
A common arum-like perennial plant
appearing in winter or early spring.
Rather short: 20-30cm.
Its cylindrical spathe looks larger in the picture
but it is actually 4-5cm long.
 
It often forms patches (See below) in shaded or semi-shaded areas
in open woodland and grassy places
throughout Greece and other Mediterranean countries.
