Chlorospatha is a genus of flowering plants in the Araceae family. Chlorospatha can be found from Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.[1][2]
The plants are usually found in shaded bogs and are notoriously difficult to cultivate. One of the species, C. kressii is currently believed to be extinct.[3]
