The spathe may vary in shape from regularly funneled or trumpet- shaped with minimal convolutions ,e.g., Z.pentlandii , to a tightly folded tube with a tapering tip, e.g., Z.rehmannii. After fertilisation, poisonous berries are produced. The genus Zantedeschia is daylength neutral, with regards to flowering, and thus would respond to year round forcing if the soil temperature was above the minimum. Z.albomaculata Z.albomaculata is widespread in its distribution across the coastal and mountainous regions of southern Africa. Z.albomaculata is deciduous in habit, and grows to 75cm tall.
Colours range from creamy to straw coloured to pale yellow, and sometimes coral pink.
It is green at the base of the spathe and sometimes has an open tubular spathe. It flowers predominantly in the summer months, but can be forced earlier and later in a greenhouse environment. The leaves are either immaculate or conspicuously maculate, usually oblong hastate, rarely ovate hastate, lower lobes short to triangular spreading or straped shaped. Z.rehmannii Z.rehmannii is a deciduous plant with narrow lanceolate leaves and cuneate at the base. The leaves being immaculate, although some of the leaves have translucent spots.
