Arum korolkowii Regel endangered

Abstract

The disappearance of any kind of plants or animals is a step towards such a sad future, it is the loss of a priceless gift of nature. To prevent such things, it is necessary reserves, sanctuaries, zoos, botanical gardens and, of course, the joint efforts of people from all over the world: scientists, politicians, industrialists. However while we are procrastinating, we can simply open the "Red Book of Kazakhstan" and get to know more closely those amazing animals and plants of our country that may disappear today and one of these plants is Korolkov's Aronnik, we want to tell the whole world about it. This plant grows in the shade of trees, among rocks, along shady gorges to the mid-mountain belt of Central Asia, Northwestern China and Iran. In 1877, it was described in the St. Petersburg Botanical Garden from cultivated specimens. It is named after N.I. Korolkov, who brought tubers for the first time.
