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).
palaestinum, from Palestine.
- The standard author abbreviation Boiss. is used to indicate Pierre Edmond Boissier (1810 - 1885), a Swiss botanist, explorer and mathematician.
