Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Orontium (one of many names arbitrarily applied by Linnaeus; he probably had in mind some water plant growing in the Syrian river Orontes). Araceae. A hardy native aquatic plant, which bears in early spring yellow "clubs" on white stalks. The "club" is a cylindrical spadix 1 to 2 inches long. Spathe usually soon deciduous; fls. hermaphrodite, covering the whole spadix; sepals scale-like, imbricated upon the ovary, usually 4 in the upper and 6 in the lower fls.; ovary 1-celled; ovule solitary, semi- anatropous: fr. a green utricle.—One species, found in swamps and pools from Mass, to Fla., mostly near the seacoast, but extending as far inland as Cent. Pa. and La. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
