Sign in to saveAlso known as arum lilies, calla lilies, pig lily
Zantedeschia () is a genus of eight species of herbaceous, perennial, flowering plants in the aroid family, Araceae, native to southern Africa (from South Africa northeast to Malawi). The genus has been introduced, in some form, on every continent other than Antarctica.
OverviewAI-generated
Zantedeschia is a genus of plants within the family Araceae. It belongs to the kingdom Plantae, phylum Tracheophyta, and order Alismatales. The genus was named after Giovanni Zantedeschi and described in the Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary. Common names for the group include calla lily, Kalla, Huonevehkat, and オランダカイウ属.
Taxonomic records indicate the genus has an accepted status, with authority attributed to K.P.J. Sprengel in 1826. While some sources classify the class as Liliopsida, others list it as Magnoliopsida. The genus has been documented in various regions, including Mexico, the Philippines, South Africa, the United States, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Die Zantedeschien (Zantedeschia) sind die einzige Pflanzengattung der Tribus Zantedeschieae in der Familie der Aronstabgewächse (Araceae). Bei vier der acht Zantedeschia-Arten verwendet man Calla, Kalla oder selten Calla-Lilien als Trivialnamen, sie sollten jedoch nicht mit Lilien oder Pflanzenarten der Gattung Calla verwechselt werden. Manche Arten und Sorten sind seltene Zimmerpflanzen. Der Name Calla leitet sich vom altgriechischen Wort καλός kalós ab und bedeutet „schön“. Mythologische Namenscousinen sind die Nymphe Kallisto und die Muse der Dichtung und Wissenschaft Kalliope.[1] Inhaltsverzeichnis 1 Beschreibung 2 Verbreitung 3 Systematik 4 Nutzung 4.1 Sorten 5 Bilder 6 Einzelnachweise 7 Weiterführende Literatur 8 Weblinks Beschreibung Illustration mit vielen Details von Zantedeschia aethiopica Zantedeschia aethiopica am Standort in Südafrika Zantedeschien sind ausdauernde krautige Pflanzen, die Wuchshöhen bis 2,5 Meter erreichen.

Zantedeschia () is a genus of eight species of herbaceous, perennial, flowering plants in the aroid family, Araceae, native to southern Africa (from South Africa northeast to Malawi). The genus has been introduced, in some form, on every continent other than Antarctica.
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 (which belong to the family Liliaceae), and the genera Arum and Calla, although related, are distinct from Zantedeschia, despite visual similarities. The colourful flowers and leaves, of both species and cultivars, are greatly valued and commonly grown as ornamental and garden plants.
