robert, I would say the Anthurium grande N. E. Br. 1905 is the legitimate
name.
Anthurium grande Sodiro, Anales Univ. Centr. Ecuador 20. 1905 = A.
conspicuum Sodiro
Anthurium grande hort. Bull 1865. the hort. tag puts this one out of the
running
Next one:
>Anthurium palmatifidum Van Houtte ex Schott 1865
>Anthurium palmatifidum Lem. 1846
The only reference I could find was for the Van Houtte ex Schott 1865. It
is listed as nom. dubium
>Also, what is going on with Anthurium scandens?
A. scandens has so many subsp. and var. I think a great many are
different species but any scandent anthurium was probobly given a varietal
name of scandens when some may be distinct species.

The name was validly published so it is valid. As follows: A. scandens
(Aubl.) Engl., Fl. Bras. 3(2):78. 1878.
12 subspp. forms. and varieties are also listed, some in synonomy.
