Calla (ancient name, of obscure meaning). Araceae. A monotypic genus, containing a native bog-plant with a white spathe. Herb, with creeping rhizomes and 2-ranked Ivs. Differs from Orontium in the parallel secondary and tertiary veins of the If.-blade, as well as in having a prominent more or less fleshy persistent spathe enveloping the spadix, and in the absence of perianth; lower fls. perfect, upper staminate; fr. a red berry. See Zantedeschia for C. aethiopica, C. albo-maculala, and others. The calla of florists, or calla lily, is Richardia of recent books, but is properly Zantedeschia, where it is described and the culture given in this work.
