Description

Anthurium forgetii

Name: Anthurium forgetii, N. E. Brown 1906
Etymology: forgetii = Louis Forget, one of the most successful orchid collectors, who worked with Micholitz for SANDER & Co.

Origin: Colombia
Habitat: terrestrial in the warm, humid rainforest at around 1100 m. No exact details are available.
Notes:
Although Louis Forget primarily searched for and collected orchids, he was also interested in other attractive foliage plants and managed to send them to England in a condition that allowed them to survive. Anthurium forgetii was such an attractive foliage plant that Nicholas Edward Brown (* July 11, 1849 in Redhill, Surrey; † November 25, 1934 in Kew, London), whose specialty was actually succulent plants, described it in 1905 and named it in honor of its discoverer.
