A large family of tropical plants including arums, anthuriums, and philodendrons, known for their distinctive flowers and often large leaves.
From Latin arum (a plant name) plus the suffix -aceae (used in botanical taxonomy to denote plant families). Formalized in modern plant classification.
The Araceae family is where you find the calla lily, the flamingo flower, and the taro plant—completely different looking plants united by tiny hidden flowers inside a special structure!
