Anthurium ID needed

From: Krzysztof Kozminski kk at kozminski.com> on 2002.08.27 at 16:22:48(9297) A fellow on another list I'm on is wondering about the identity of his Anthurium. The photos are at this URL: http://www.charlies-web.com/caudiciform/contentsunk.html Can anyone identify this thing? So far, one guess is A. salviniae.

It would help to know something about the origin of the plant. David +More Krzysztof Kozminski a *crit : > > A fellow on another list I'm on is wondering about the identity of his > Anthurium.

So far, one guess is A. salviniae. > Doing a little bit of checking, and based on what I can see from the pictures, I would say that Anthurium salviniae is as good a guess as we could with limited information. The pictures do provide some good information though, especially the inflor. shots, which show us the long tapered spadix, and both spath and spadix pale lavender, good characters of A. salviniae. Closest second guess would be A. schlechtendalii, but the inflor. structures tend to be shorter and more blunt, less tapered. A. jenmanii, another suggested possibility, also tends to have a shorter and more blunt spadix, and more white to cream colored if my memory serves, and tougher leaves as well (or am I thinking of a different species?). Comparing the shots to illustrations at Neil's Anthurium primer site, might prove useful. The most interesting thing to me is that this Anthurium is included in a caudiciform section, apparently because the roots are growing into a somewhat solid mix of clay and organic matter? This Anthurium, whichever species it is, is definitely not a caudiciform, and would benefit from being grown in an epiphytic mix, although it obviously doesn't seem to be suffering in it's current, somewhat confusing mix of substrates.
