That's a nice one Richard... I don't know much about Aroids, beyond the common Alocasias, Philodendrons, etc.

This just sent me down a small google worm hole, where I discovered that have a species - Gymnostachys anceps, Settlers Flax, that I had no idea was an Aroid. It looks more like some sort of sedge! Probably grows wild in your area, think I collected the seed near Cobark on the road up to Barrington Tops.

South Arm, Tasmania, Australia - 42° South

Mild oceanic climate, with coastal exposure.

If you thought palms were addictive, stay away from aroids they are the most addictive of all plants. If you get a taste for them your hooked and there is no therapist for aroid addiction only the need for more of them, your bank account goes down faster than the titanic. And if you do go down the road of aroid addiction expect great loses not only in your bank account but also plant loses trying to zone push with them. Dont say i didnt warn you!!!
