I responded to you about this earlier today based on a
forward. As I said then please send images of inflorescences when you
see them. Now I am wondering if this might not be a strange Anthurium
sect. Urospadix since I don?t recognize this as anything from the western
Andes. I am hoping that Marcus Nadruz sees this
and might know it.

light and it was really suffering with scorched blades and dry
conditions. It took years to bring it back, but now it seems
happier. It has been a very slow grower only producing a few new blades
each year. It seems to like moister conditions and lower light.

collection and if the name is correct, or what the name might
be.

we have, specially with it's fibrous trunk. Also, the way
the petioles do not brake off easily when the blades grow old and
fade, but must be cut to be removed.
