Zantedeschia aethiopica (L.) Sprengel - Altar-lily

Distribution:
Established plants were discovered along the Leeds & Liverpool Canal to the west of Parbold (SD4810, C Chadwick, 2007).

Habitat:
Canal marginal vegetation.

Comments:
Neophyte, native to South Africa. Still present in 2010 (DP Earl & J Earl) although some plants had been removed and disposed of along the towpath. One of the plants found along the towpath was subsequently grown on as a house plant in order to provide the images that were taken during December 2010.
