Spathiphyllum cochlearispathum is a plant species in the family Araceae.

[2] When cultivated as a houseplant, Spathiphyllum cochlearispathum is commonly called peace lily.

Frederik Michael Liebmann originally described the species in a separate genus Hydnostachyon, which he described as having a concave (spoon-like) spathe Spatha foliacea persistens cochleariformis, from which he formed the species epithet cochlearispathum.

[3] The species was moved to the genus Spathiphyllum by Heinrich Gustav Adolf Engler.

The peace lily likes light, but absolutely no direct sunlight, not even for short periods.
