Spathiphyllum.

 Spathiphyllum, or Spathiphyllum (Latin Spathiphyllum), is a genus of perennial evergreen plants of the Araceae family. Some species of this genus are popular as houseplants and are often called "women's happiness".
Botanical description:

 Spathiphyllums are stemless or with shortened stems plants with a short rhizome.
Their leaves are oblong-lanceolate, pointed, bright green, shiny, collected in a basal rosette.
The flowers are collected in a spadix, surrounded by a cover, which can be white, greenish-white or cream.

 The cover is 2-3 times longer than the spadix.
When withering, the cover turns green, and then becomes dirty brown.
Popularity in indoor floriculture:
Spathiphyllum is known for its decorativeness and unusual flowering. It is unpretentious in care, but requires compliance with certain conditions.
