Zantedeschia elliottiana, golden arum or calla lily, is a herbaceous ornamental plant in the Araceae family. It grows from a bulb. It is said to occur in the province of Mpumalanga in South Africa,[1] although other sources say that it is not found in the wild but appears to be a hybrid of garden origin.[2]
Description
Zantedeschia elliottiana is a herbaceous plant up to 60 cm (2 ft) tall, with large deep green leaves spotted with white. It is summer-flowering plant with a yellow spathe marked with purple at the base.[2] The spathe surrounds a yellow spadix which occasionally produces a spike of bright yellow berries that are attractive to birds.[citation needed]
