Spathiphyllum inflorescence

Spathiphyllum Schott

The inflorescence of Spathiphyllum consists of a spadix surrounded by a spathe and serves as a key morphological trait for assessing cultivar characteristics.

In the reference 28 varieties crop Spathiphyllum, where this is mentioned in the description.

The Spathiphyllum inflorescence is evaluated as a complex trait, including the parameters of the spathe, peduncle, and spadix. Consideration is given to the linear dimensions of the spathe, its shape, coloration, and degree of convexity, as well as the position of the peduncle relative to the leaf level and the overall dimensions of the spadix.

When evaluating cultivars, metric indicators for the length and width of inflorescence elements are used along with standardized descriptors for qualitative traits, such as shape and color intensity. The ratio of inflorescence size to the overall plant habit is a determining factor in the commercial ornamental value of a cultivar.
