Anthurium whitelockii

Jared, I just went back and reread your original post.  I'm not sure you actually have the plant Dr. Croat originally considered calling "Anthurium whitelockii" since the species which was published as Anthurium faustomirandae is not a bird's nest form.  Section Pachyneurium species (birds nest) grow in a rosulette fashion with the petioles in a form similar to the form of the petals of a rose.  Anthurium faustomirandae grows a very thick coriaceous cordate (heart shaped) leaf and Dr. Croat does not list this species in his journal of Anthurium within section Pachyneurium.  Photos of the plant including the blade, petiole and stem will help to determine the species but if you have a photo of the inflorescence that will make the ID even more positive.
