• Genus: Anthurium
• Botanical Background: Described by A.M.E.Jonker & Jonker, this species has drawn attention from botanists for its unique floral structures and adaptation to shaded, moist environments; its discovery has contributed to a deeper understanding of aroid diversity in tropical ecosystems.

• Geographical Range: Indigenous to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia, where it is typically found in lowland to mid-elevation rainforests.
• Environment: Environments characterized by high humidity, moderate to high rainfall, and well-draining, organic-rich soils; naturally grows in shaded understories with stable, warm temperatures.
