Zantedeschia (Araceae) 4b:30  
Tasmania has one naturalised species of Araceae. White Arum Lily (Zantedeschia aethiopica) is a common garden plant that persists in abandoned gardens (e.g. on old farms etc). It is quite unmistakeable. The leaves have large heart-shaped laminas (~30 cm long) at the ends of long petioles. The flowers are large, asymmetrical, creamy white and tubular with a yellow column in the centre.
