Abstract
Helicophyllum crassipes (Araceæ)1 grows as a weed in the coastal belt of Egypt, in localities where the soil is light calcareous sand and where the percentage of salt is low. It is a corm-geophyte which sprouts late in October and flowers during January and February; flowering sometimes extends through March and April. The plant seems to possess a high capacity for seed production.
