Hi Geoffrey,
What about Anthurium willdenowii? Those kind of leaves, together with
those lilac-mauve fruits are both notewhorty features of A. willdenowii. As
far as I remember, this species occurs in Trinidad and Tobago Islands, as
well as in other Islands in West Indies.
I hope it helps,
Eduardo.
