Botanic information

Flower: The spadix is enclosed by a leafy spathe that appears during early summer. It is an insignificant feature of the plant.

Fruit: The small berries are not often seen and the seeds may have endosperm. The seeds are viable but the plant is normally reproduced vegetatively.
