''Arum creticum'', the Cretan arum, is a species in the flowering plant family Araceae, native to the Greek island of Crete , the Eastern Aegean Islands, and southwestern Turkey. This semi-evergreen clump-forming tuberous perennial has large arrow-shaped leaves. Erect folded-back spathes of fragrant yellow or cream appear in spring, with longer narrow spadices of a darker yellow. The flowers are followed in autumn by clusters of red or orange fruit. The plant reaches 50 cm tall and broad.
