The Zantedeschia (Zantedeschia) is the only plant genus of the Tribus Zantedeschieae in the family of the Araceae.
Four of the eight Zantedeschia species have calla, calla or rarely calla lilies as trivial names, but they should not be confused with lilies or plant species of the genus calla. Some species and varieties are rare indoor plants. The name Calla is derived from the ancient Greek word καλός kalós and means "beautiful". Mythological namesake cousins are the nymph Callisto and the muse of poetry and science Calliope.
Zantedeschia is a genus of eight species of herbaceous, perennial, flowering plants in the family Araceae, native to southern Africa from South Africa north to Malawi. The genus has been introduced on all continents except Antarctica. Common names include arum lily for Z. aethiopica and calla and calla lily for Z. elliottiana and Z. rehmannii, although members of the genus are neither true lilies of Liliaceae, true Arums, nor true Callas (related genera in Araceae). The colourful flowers and leaves of both species and cultivars are greatly valued and commonly grown as ornamental plants.
