Quick Summary

The term "spotted calla lily" refers to Zantedeschia albomaculata, a plant native to South Africa. This plant is characterized by white-spotted leaves and a whitish to yellow or pink flower spathe that deepens to purplish-brown at the base.1

The common name "calla lily" is often applied to several species within the genus Zantedeschia, which are part of the arum family. The most well-known is the common florist's calla, Z. aethiopica, a popular indoor plant grown for its fragrant white spathe. Other varieties include the golden calla lily (Z. elliottiana) and the pink calla lily (Z. rehmannii).1234

It's important to note that the genus Calla itself contains only one species, C. palustris, also known as the water arum or wild calla, which is an aquatic plant found in cooler northern regions.1
