Notes:
This species was discovered by Gustave Wallis, who was born in Lüneburg in 1830 and completed his horticultural training in Detmold. From 1858, he worked for the Linden company in Belgium, which sent him to Brazil to collect orchids. There, he undertook one of the longest collecting expeditions ever, crossing all of South America from the source of the Amazon to its mouth.
In 1870, he traveled to the Philippines for Veitch & Sons; by 1872, he was back in Colombia for Linden, where he discovered Anthurium crystallinum. He then traveled north as far as Panama, before heading south again to Ecuador, where he died of a fever in a hospital in Cuenca in 1878.

Culture: Warm conditions at around 20–28 °C, with high humidity and bright, indirect light. Use a coarse, airy aroid mix and keep it evenly slightly moist.
