Gynandriris sisyrinchium (collected in Lampedusa Is.) and Nothoscordon inodorum (coll. in Tenerife) grow in a mediterranean climate. The first needs a very hot and dry dormancy period in summer, the second comes from subtop. america. - full sun. They can survive till -5/-10°C Arum italicum is hardy (till -15°C) but Arum purpureospathum is not so hardy: better not under -4°C. For both dry rest period in summer. Light shadow.

Dear Fausto, I must admit that I am not familiar with the two plants mentioned above; where can I find information on them? I could not find mention of them on any Aroid related Index.

The first belongs to Iridaceae and is related with Iris and Morea, the second belongs to Liliaceae (s.l.) and is related with Allium. I am sorry, but I hope that you may enjoy them althought not Arum-like. Fausto +More -- Dr. Ing.
