Variety traits

Spathiphyllum spadix

Spathiphyllum Schott

The spadix is a fleshy spike bearing bisexual flowers and is an essential identification feature of the Spathiphyllum inflorescence.

In the reference 13 varieties crop Spathiphyllum, where this is mentioned in the description.

The Spathiphyllum spadix is shaped like a fleshy spike with small, bisexual flowers distributed across its surface. In botanical descriptions, this organ is characterized by a specific color, which can vary from cream and yellowish to greenish shades.

In morphological descriptions of taxa, it is standard practice to evaluate the size of the spadix relative to the subtending leaf, or spathe. As a rule, in species of the genus Spathiphyllum, the spadix is shorter than the spathe. Agronomic methods do not distinguish spadix size as a quantitative criterion for variety testing, as the decorative value of the plant is determined by the general appearance of the inflorescence.
