Araceae

The Araceae are a family of monocotyledonous flowering plants in which flowers are borne on a type of inflorescence called a spadix. The spadix is usually accompanied by, and sometimes partially enclosed in, a spathe or leaf-like bract. Also known as the arum family, members are often colloquially known as aroids. This family of 114 genera and about 3750 known species[3] is most diverse in the New World tropics, although also distributed in the Old World tropics and northern temperate regions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Araceae
