Spathiphyllum 'Maximo Cupido'is the largest growingof the 'Cupido' hybrids, with gorgeous, dark green, glossy foliage, held upright by stout stems.

The name of the genus Spathiphyllum is the highly vivid Neo-Latin version of two words of Ancient Greek language, ‘σπάθη’ (Indo-European root *sph₂-dʰ–), means sword and ‘φύλλον’, means leave – aptly describing the special shape of the flowers.

he name of the species wallisii was given in honor of the German plant collector Gustav Wallis (1830-1878), who has introduced more than 1000 species of plants in Europe, including many orchids.
