According- to the famous monograph of the Araceae by A. Engler, most of the several "species", 

 of Arib-nruin, described by H. W. Schott, including those two, mentioned above, are in reality forms of 

 very little importance, and hardly deserve even to be arranged as varieties. Still it should be remembered, 

 that A. crassifoUum, which was discovered at Phaneromene near Larnaka by Th. Kotschy 1859, but has 

 been sought there in vain by Sintenis as well as by myself, made upon its discoverer the impression 

 of being a very distinct species (Kotschy, 1. c. 136). As it is only known in a sterile condition, I must 

 contiuo myself to recommend it to the zeal of future investigators. 



Fields and stony places, especially between calcareous rocks, in the lower reg-ions, frequent. ~ 

 Larnaka, Ktima (Kotschy). Hagia Napa (JH 40), Ormidia (JH 82).

Note. Colocasia antiquornm Sebott (= Amm Colocasia L.) is g-enerally cnltivatert in tbe island, and is by Sibthorp 

 (Prortr. 11. 245) indicatert as spontaneous. No doubt, tbat it is only escaped from culture.
