Re: Help Identifying Unknown Anthurium

From: Tom Croat <croat at mobot.org> on 1997.10.21 at 20:24:23(1458)
Dear Jaime: If it has blackish dots on the lower surface it is probably
a member of A. section Porphyrochitonium. If not it might be A. eximium
Enger but your description is very unclear. Could you take a photo of
it?
