Several of these repeatedly re-crossed Zantedeschia hybrids that I've grown
have frequently produced an inflorescence in which the spathe is in
appearance and insertion a leaf that is half-way to being a spathe (and
after all, the spathe in aroids is certainly derived from a leaf), so it
seems not unlikely that leaves on the vegetative part of the plant can also
occasionally be seen in a similar transitive state
