Broad leaves of Arum palaestinum. A perennial plant, Arum palaestinum grows up to 10–25 cm (4–10 in) high. It blooms between the months of March and April, by which time the plant is easily recognized by its dark purplish-black spadix enclosed by a reddish-brown spathe.
Common names include arum lily for Z. aethiopica, calla and calla lily for Z. elliottiana and Z. rehmannii. However, members of this genus are not true lilies [ 4 ] (which belong to the family Liliaceae ), and the genera Arum and Calla , although related, are distinct from Zantedeschia , despite visual similarities.
Zantedeschia albomaculata, commonly called the spotted calla lily [2] (although Calla is a genus unto itself) or the white spotted arum, is a species of flowering plant in the arum family, Araceae. [3]
The fruit is a cluster of red berries, each berry containing several seeds. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] The plant is very poisonous when fresh due to its high oxalic acid content, but the rhizome (like that of Caladium , Colocasia , and Arum ) is edible after drying, grinding, leaching and boiling.
Until 2011, Zantedeschia aethiopica was the national flower of the island nation of Saint Helena, where it grows widely, but is considered an invasive plant. [14] Further, it is an important symbol of Irish republicanism and nationalism since 1926, because it is used to commemorate the dead of Easter 1916 and onward.
