Mystery Anthurium-help!

From: GeoffAroid at aol.com on 2000.06.30 at 02:49:25(4938) Hi folks, I have been growing an Anthurium from seed which came originally from Peter Randall in Australia. It was described as A. bakeri broad-leaved form. It has now produced a very nice plant with leaves over 14 inches with petioles nearly the same; leaves very broad 3-4ins, copious black dots on undersides...ie very unlike the normal slender A. bakeri. It was suggested to me that it might be a young A. gladiifolium and this certainly seemed a good suggestion since the leaves do look very similar. But then I saw a large plant in flower at Kew and realise the flower on my plant is completely different, short, cylindric, cream instead of long and tapering and purple. So....any suggestions welcome, it just doesnt look like any A. bakeri I have ever grown, it is just too large and leathery and tends to lean over as if it wants to go semi-pendent. I have posted pics on my website, just follow the links. Any help gratefully received!
