Arisarum species look very similar to Arum except that their flowers, spathes, and inflorescences are considerably different.[4]
In A. simorrhinum, the flower stalk is shorter or equal in length to the leaf stalk, whereas in A. vulgare, the flower stalk is longer than the leaf stalk. A. vulgare also has a generally longer spadix than A. simorrhinum.[5]
