−'''''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]].+Several species are popular indoor [[houseplant]]s. ''Spathiphyllum'' cleans indoor air of many environmental contaminants, including [[benzene]], [[formaldehyde]], and other pollutants. It cleans best at one plant per 10 m². It lives best in shade and needs little sunlight to thrive.+
+Spathiphyllum is mildly toxic to humans and animals when ingested.+
