    Hi,

    I'm Ruby from Northern NY, my husband purchased this plant for me the other day and I'm having trouble identifing the plant.

    The label that came with the plant says Spathiphyllum sp.--however I can not find a photo of this variety.

    Your help would be appreciated-when my houseplant books were published there were only 3 plants identified as houseplants and that may even be incorrect.

    Your collective knowledge would be appreciated.

    Kind regards,

    Ruby

    Not a Spathiphyllum, looks more like a Calathea sp. Try a Google image search on calathea.

    I agree, definitely a Calathea
