Dear Harry,
Aloha.
Thank you for your inquiry. I have a large growing plant which is similar to Anthurium giganteum in general...but with a narrower sinus, etc. I may also have an Anthurium balaoanum. My collective vein starts at about the 4-7 basal vein...I could not see yours. I read Steve's article on Anthurium balaoanum and it seems to match my plant somewhat. I will also assign a tentative identification. It is difficult these similar species...from photos and plants without data. My plant was purchased as a cutting and was sold to me as Anthurium regale...which it is not. Two other cuttings, also sold as Anthurium regale,are some other species which I have not identified. No data...and I have no clue yet. The only common denominator in all these is their large size.
Aloha,
Leland
