Anthurium vittariifolium |
Anthurium vittariifolium is a species of flowering plant in the genus Anthurium (family Araceae) native to the Amazon basin; southeast Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and northern Brazil. [1] With its long, pendulous leaves that can reach 2.4 m (8 ft), it is among those commonly known as "strap-leaved" anthuriums. It grows as an epiphyte at lower elevations of tropical moist forests, and is a member of the section Leptanthurium along with Anthurium gracile. [2]
