Abstract
The genus Zantedeschia, commonly known as the arum or calla lily, is native to Africa. Apart from the more commonly known white Zantedeschia aethiopica there are six other Zantedeschia species in South Africa with flower colours ranging from pink, cream and yellow to maroon. As cut flowers they are very popular all over the world and a multitude of cultivars and hybrids are available (Plate 1A).
