Anthurium names anyone?

From: Anne Olivier <a.j.olivier at pl.hanze.nl> on 1997.10.20 at 03:16:56(1453) Hello, Can anyone help me to some Anthurium species names? I happened to see a picture of some plants with in the background an Anthurium. This Anthurium had very beautiful leaves. This is difficult to put in writing, but the plant had a leafstalk of about 1.5 meters and the leave hanging from it was appr. 120 cms x 40 cm. So a long slender leaf. It looked like it was still a young plant. I have no name of the species but I would like to ask you, does anyone know what kind of Anthurium grows these leaves? Probably there will be more species with this form or lookalikes. I would very much like to try these plants and see them grow, I know of some growers that sell seeds, but without a name I don't know what to order. If there is someone who has some seeds to spare now or in the future, that would be very nice. ( I know I could look it up the new book 'Genera of Araceae', but that will have to be a christmas buy ) Thanks everyone! Anne Mr. Anne Olivier +More The Netherlands

You can see photographs of several in my revision of Anthurium sect. Pachyneurium that might be the plant you saw. Check A. pseudospectabile, A. spectabile, A. pendulifolium.
