Scaphispatha is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae. It contains two species, S. gracilis and S. robusta.[1] The genus was believed to be monotypic until 2003 when a new species, S. robusta was discovered by Eduardo Gomes Gonçalves in northern Brazil. The plant had been grown in cultivation for some years, but had always been assumed to be a Caladium until it flowered.[2][3][4][5]
