Taxonomy
Keep Spathiphyllum wallisii as the species covered here and label named selections as forms within the plant group. Do not treat every peace lily sold under a common name as this exact species.
Group
Useful indoor choice groups include compact Wallisii or Petite forms, striped Domino or Gemini forms, and large floor-plant types such as Mauna Loa and Sensation. These are practical groups, not a formal complete classification.

Care differences

The practical care choice is space and placement: large forms need a larger footprint and container, while compact or striped forms suit smaller spaces or a foliage-focused display. The evidence does not support a separate watering or fertilizer schedule for each named form.
