Variety traits
Zantedeschia spadix
Zantedeschia Spreng.
The Zantedeschia spadix is a spike-like inflorescence surrounded by a decorative spathe, with female flowers located at the base and male flowers in the upper part.
In the reference 49 varieties crop Arum-lily, where this is mentioned in the description.
The spadix is the central element of the Zantedeschia inflorescence, bearing small true flowers. The length of this organ serves as an important varietal characteristic and varies from 9 cm in Zantedeschia aethiopica to 25 cm in a number of other varieties.
In terms of ornamental and commercial quality, a critical parameter is the visual contrast and proportionality of the spadix size relative to the spathe. Beyond its aesthetic function, the spadix acts as the site for fruit formation and as a biological substrate for breeding work.
