+'''''Spathiphyllum''''' is a genus of about 40 species of [[monocotyledon]]ous [[flowering plant]]s in the family [[Araceae]], native to tropical regions of the [[Americas]] and southeastern [[Asia]]. Certain species of ''Spathiphyllum'' are commonly known as '''Spath''' or '''Peace Lilies'''.
+
+They are [[evergreen]] [[herbaceous]] [[perennial plant]]s with large leaves 12-65 cm long and 3-25 cm broad. The [[flower]]s are produced in a [[spadix]], surrounded by a 10-30 cm long, white, yellowish, or greenish [[spathe]]. The plant does not need excessive light or water to survive.
