Biarum rhopalospadix K. Koch

Biarum tenuifolium: Tuber broadly discoid to subglobose, often with offsets. Peduncle (1–)5–10 cm, subterranean, with inflorescence sitting on the ground, smelling of dung. Leaves appearing with or after the inflorescence, long-petiolate; blade narrowly elliptical to oblanceolate. Spathe tube cylindrical, ± underground, whitish; limb elliptic-oblong, much longer than tube, erect or slightly recurved, purple inside or sometimes greenish towards apex. Spadix cylindrical, equalling or exceeding spathe limb, purple or greenish-purple. Female flowers in a globose cluster; male flowers in a cylindrical zone; well-developed zones of sterile flowers present both below and above the male zone. Infructescence globose, remaining underground.

The inclusion of this species is based on a single report from Mt Dirfis, Evvia (Iatroú, unpubl.). It was described from Attiki and is scattered in Peloponnisos. It is usually spring-flowering and differs from B. tenuifolium in the lack of sterile flowers above the male zone.
