Name that Anthurium
I have been cultivating this Anthurium for almost two years now, and has tried my patience for being very slow-growing. Recently however, it's been showing some growth spurt and each new leaf is noticeably larger than the previous one. The leaves have a velvety sheen and quite stiff, indeed very cardboard-like. The petioles are distinctively triangular in cross section. When I purchased it, it was with 2 or 3 other specimens of the same kind, and all were practically of the same size; I do not know what the eventual size would be.
Like many anthuriums, the inflorescence is not much to look at, but the rachis is very dark- almost blackish, and the spathe becomes suffused with pale purple as it ages.
I understand that many anthuriums floating around both in Indonesia and the Philippines are of hybrid origin, and being a species nut, I am fervently hoping that someone will eventually supply me with a name, preferably one that ends with either a Latin- or Greek-derived word.
