Plants in closely related Zantedeschia are also called "arum lilies". They are rhizomatous, herbaceous perennial plants growing to 20–60 cm tall, with sagittate (arrowhead-shaped) leaves 10–55 cm long. The flowers are produced in a spadix, surrounded by a 10–40-cm-long, coloured spathe, which may be white, yellow, brown, or purple; some species are scented, others not. The fruit is a cluster of bright orange or red berries. All parts of the plants, including the berries, are poisonous,[3] containing significant amounts of calcium oxalate as raphides. The genus name is the Latinized form of the Greek name for these plants, aron. Species{{columns-list|colwidth=22em|
