[Aroid-l] Mystery Plant

From: lbmkjm at yahoo.com (brian lee) on 2008.04.01 at 19:55:13(17275) Dear Steve, Aloha. This is definitely an Anthurium...but I could not tell you off hand what species this is. I have something similar but I'll have to walk to the greenhouse to check if I have a name. I can clearly see a geniculum in your photo...sometimes it is subtle. Also, this may be an immature plant so all the characters are not well developed.
