Most arums are native to the tropics, although a few genera, such as Arisaema, Symplocarpus, and Peltandra, are found in temperate regions.
Arum flowers are crowded on a spike (spadix), which is enfolded by a vaselike leaf (spathe).
Three arums are grown extensively for a starchy food made from their corms or tubers: taro (Colocasia esculenta) and dasheen (C. esculenta), both of which are widely cultivated in Southeast Asia and Polynesia, and Yautia (Xanthosoma sagittifolium), which is native to tropical America and the West Indies.
