Not an endemic, being common around the eastern Med, but also growing wild in our garden is Arum hygrophilum. Unlike our A. sintenisii they do produce fruiting bodies. Not a good photo but I think it's enough to see them forming.
Cyprus Branch Head. Gardens in a field 40 m above sea level with reasonably fertile clay soil.
