In Spathiphyllum, commonly known as the peace lily, the apparent white \u2018flower\u2019 is not a petal but a spathe: a modified leaf that turns white to highlight the spadix, the central structure where hundreds of tiny true flowers are clustered. This reproductive architecture is characteristic of the Araceae family and is shared with related genera such as Monstera, Philodendron, and Anthurium, all of which use the spathe\u2013spadix combination as an effective strategy to attract pollinators. <\/p>\n

En el Spathiphyllum, conocido como cuna de Mois\u00e9s o lirio de la paz, la aparente \u2018flor\u2019 blanca no es un p\u00e9talo, sino una espata: una hoja modificada que se vuelve blanca para resaltar el esp\u00e1dice, la estructura central donde se agrupan cientos de diminutas flores verdaderas. Esta arquitectura reproductiva es caracter\u00edstica de la familia Araceae y se repite en g\u00e9neros emparentados como Monstera, Philodendron y Anthurium, que tambi\u00e9n combinan espata y esp\u00e1dice como un mecanismo eficaz para atraer polinizadores.<\/p>\n
