A new and distinct Spathiphyllum hybrid cultivar of the Mauna Loa type is provided. The new cultivar was produced during the course of a planned breeding program wherein the Pallas cultivar (non-patented in the United States) was crossed by a unnamed seedling of the Mauna Loa type (non- patented in the United States). The new cultivar when compared to its Pallas parent exhibits a smaller more compact growth habit, forms leaves that are narrower, flowers sooner, exhibits leaves that possess a silk- matte finish, forms a geniculum that commonly is more bent, and forms a very sturdy flower stem. The new cultivar serves well as an attractive ornamental pot plant and has been named the Ceres cultivar.
