I once grew Dracuncluas canariense it is found on the canary islands and is a tall slender plant with slender looking flower. I believe I lost it years ago and had hoped to grow it again but it is rarely offered. The Dracunculas vulgaris is very divers and found on the island of Crete. I had a friend who went to Crete and collected a few tubers for me years ago. Their are several different forms. One is a all green leaf form much like shown above another having white markings on the leaf like this last photo. The most saught after form I have seen is the white flowering form. It is very hard to find and I have only seen two photos of it and know of only one person who is growing it in the US.
Here are some great photos of the white form from the aroid societys website.
