The Calla Lily, Zantedeschia aethiopica, is often called the white or common arum lily. Although most often referred to as Calla “Lily,” the calla is not related to true lilies (genus Lilium) or to the lily family. The Calla is an arum and closely related to houseplants such as the philodendron, spathiphyllum, pothos, monstera, and caladium. In the wild, the Calla Lily prefers marshy areas. One of its closest relatives is the Skunk Cabbage, which also prefers a marsh environment, and is one of the most abundant and earliest-blooming northern wildflowers. Some varieties of Calla Lilies are fragrant, though thankfully, they do not share the pungent odor of the Skunk Cabbage!

馬蹄蓮屬天南星科的多年生草本球根花卉。它有肥大的根莖，葉柄較長，葉形如倒心臟形，先端較尖；花莖高出葉片，花苞白色，苞片中心是由很多的小花所組成的肉質、柱形、黃色花序，花苞倒置如馬蹄，故名馬蹄蓮。花苞與花序相配又如蓮座，故又名觀音蓮、水竿及慈姑花。

Supposedly, the Calla Lily was named after Professor Giovanni Zantedeschi, 1773-1846, an Italian physician and botanist. The name aethiopica is thought to mean south of Egypt and Libya, though the word appears like it is related to Ethiopia in some manner. It is not know exactly when and how the Calla Lily was introduced to Europe, but it appeared in an illustrated account of the Royal Garden in Paris in 1664.

它另有四個園藝品種：花苞為黃色者，葉有白色透明斑點；花苞為紅色者，植株較矮；花苞為淡黃色者，葉片大；花苞為黃綠色者，內側基部為深紫色，稱之為紫心黃馬蹄蓮。
