Spathiphyllum wallisii, commonly known as peace lily,plant collector. It was first described in 1877.
Description
It is a
perennial which produces flowers in the typical aroid structure: a densely crowded inflorescence called a spadix is subtended by one large bract called a spathe (occasionally two spathes are produced, with the upper spathe smaller). The spadix is generally cream or ivory when young, and turns green with age;[5]
the spathe is generally white or white with green nerves distally from the margin, turning green with age. Leaves are basal, glossy and somewhat deeply veined, ovate and acuminate. The petioles are long and the leaves arch gracefully. The plant produces offsets at the base and in time becomes a dense clump.
Spathiphyllum wallisii is one of approximately 40
Caribbean Islands, and northern South America.[6]
