When many of us think of a lily, the first thing we think of is a Calla Lily. However, according to various scientific studies, the Calla Lily is not a real lily. Furthermore, the name of the flower is a misnomer. Carolus Linnaeus, a Swedish botanist misnamed the plant.
Finally, Karl Koch (a German botanist) corrected this error by creating the genus Zantedeschia. At this point, however, the flower’s name had stuck already.
