Derivation of the botanical name:
Arum. The name "Aron," with the Greek termination, has been used in the most ancient times, having been applied by Hippocrates (c.460 - c.377 BCE), Theophrastus (370 - about 285 BCE), Dioscorides (ca. 40 - ca.90 CE) and Pliny (23 - 79 CE), but by the latter with the Latin termination (Arum).
dioscorides, to commemmorate Pedanius Dioscorides (Greek: Πεδάνιος Διοσκορίδης; ca. 40 - ca. 90), an ancient Greek physician, pharmacologist and botanist from Anazarbus, Cilicia, Asia Minor.
- The standard author abbreviation Sm. is used to indicate Sir James Edward Smith (1759 – 1828), an English botanist and founder of the Linnean Society.
