Description of specimen

This nasty Italian Arum has been impossible to eradicate, as I am sure you are aware of. We have 33 acres and the infestation of this is in the front part of the property around the house - several large patches,easily over 100 square feet and growing - including on the bank by the road. Snce we have lived here, it has been creeping down the street and can now be found on the neighbors property down the hill, also in patches growing in size. We are not far from the Molalla River as well as a small creek that runs into the Molalla. I am afraid if this keeps planting itself further and further down the road, it will soon reach the river corridor and spread much much faster. It is horrible stuff.
