Hi Steve, this is like seeing a ghost. I had this plant
years ago. It always puzzled me. At the time I was quite interested in
the Mexican Anthuriums. especially those with orange berries as they
all seemed to hybridize well between each other. I,m not certain where
I got the plant originally, but I placed it with the crystallinium and
magnificum and forgetti group, It lacks the strong chordate leaf shape
of clarinervium. When I first saw the fruit color (yellow/orange) I
realized that this was a great plant for breeding. Never got anything
from that plant. The Anthurium pictured should have purple berries, if
they are yellow/orange you have one very special plant. Good luck,
banta
My response to Banta:
Thanks a bunch John! The plant was photographed in the Missouri
Botanical Garden collection and even though I was there, I never saw
it. Julius was sure you could fill in some info so thanks very much
for the input. I am passing it on to the others who were involved in
this discussion. It is my understanding Tom has identified it as A.
crystallinum.
