''Urospatha'' is a genus of flowering plants in the Araceae family that consists of approximately 10 known species. They are found growing in South America and Central America〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families )〕 in swamps, wet savannahs, and brackish water. The leaves of the species in this genus are upward pointing and sagittate (arrow-shaped). The inflorescences are quite unique; the spathe is mottled and elongated with a spiral twist at the end. The seeds are distributed by water and have a texture similar to cork that allows them to float. They also quickly germinate in water.〔Govaerts, R. & Frodin, D.G. (2002).
