Spathiphyllum wallisii

Regel 1877

Is it or is not a pure species. I don't mind. S. wallisii looks accurately like this.
It was found in Columbia and sent to botanic gardens. Never again it's been found growing wild.

The first inflorescences were insignificant, about 5 cm in height.
The first nice bloom.	And then a totally malformed one.
Closeup of the inlorescence. It is about 8 cm tall.	The rear side. Lowest lateral veins depart at angle lesser than 90°.
Once it bloomed with two spathes.	In the end the spathe always turns green.
The mature infructescence with seeds.	The seeds of Spathiphyllum.
The 6 month seedlings.	And again a double spathe. I see it blooms thus when the conditions are bad.
