The heat- and odour-producing genus Arum (Araceae) has interested scientists for centuries. This long-term&#13;\ninterest has allowed a deep knowledge of some complex processes, such as the physiology and dynamics of its&#13;\ncharacteristic lure-and-trap pollination system, to be built up. However, mainly because of its large distributional&#13;\nrange and high degree of morphological variation, species’ limits and relationships are still under discussion. Today,&#13;\nthe genus comprises 28 sp
