Re: [aroid-l] Anthurium regale

From: Tom Croat Thomas.Croat at mobot.org> on 2003.01.26 at 19:37:13(9885) Julius: That would be Anthurium faustomirandae P?rez-Farrera & Croat. It was published in Novon 11(1): 88-91. 2001. It is true that it is pretty large, up to 130 cm long and 135 cm wide, and it is one of the most coriaceous of species. I love the plant.

I believe it used to be called A. Xanthosomafolia or somesuch?? Now THAT is a wonderful, HUGE plant! The leaves have the texture of cardboard! I believe that Dewey has plants and seeds of this for sale from time to time! Julius >>Peter: It would certainly not be the longest leaf since I suspect that that honor might go to Anthurium pseudospectabile Croat (blades in my description says 1.5 m long but I suspect that my plant in the Climatron has longer blades). In terms of width it would probably be the largest Anthurium in cultivation. It would never get this large in the wild though.

As a matter of interest is this one of the biggest Anthuriums or are there much bigger one`s around? And if there are bigger ones what are they? Best Regards Peter > >
