Re: Anthurium hybrids

From: rharias at juno.com on 1999.09.12 at 01:16:23(3640) Jay, I've been working on a list of anthuriums for a while now and have some partial answers for you. As to A. x 'Red Beauty' I haven't come across this name yet. As to A. x 'Hoffmannii' there is a species A. hoffmannii of which it could be. Or it could be a hybrid of A. hoffmannii and something else. Sometimes hybridizers will list a hybrid on there tag Genus x species where the species listed is the seed producer. This is a very bad practice because it leads to this type of confusion. And as to A. x 'bullatus' this could be (is probably) A. x bullatum which is a hybrid between A. subsignatum and A. veitchii. I hope I haven't muddied the picture here. But hybrids will do that to you. "Viva la species!"
