Hi Arnold ,Paul,
I agree that your Arum palaestinum is considerably paler than any I
have seen.
On the subject of odour Boyce says " A palaestinum typically
produces a smell similar to fermenting fruit, which is actually
quite pleasant. On the other hand A dioscoridis smalls strongly of
donkey-dung." He then goes on to report that some populations are
scentless and others have been reported smelling weakly of dung
and carrion !!!
I thought that might help you sniff out an identity.
Cheers,
Rob in Tasmania
