Spathiphyllum sagittifolium

An Amazonian peace lily described by Engler in 1879 from Spruce's collections, named for its arrow-shaped leaves. It is known from very few records, so care here is inferred from a single lowland Brazilian site and from the genus: hot, humid, shaded and constantly moist.
