Name: Anthurium pseudoclavigerum Croat
Etymology: The genus name Anthurium is derived from the Greek anthos ("flower") and oura ("tail"). The prefix pseudo- means "similar" or "apparent"; the name refers to the similarity to Anthurium clavigerum.
First description: 2021 by Thomas B. Croat.
Origin/Distribution: From southern Central America to northwestern South America.
Location/Habitat: Climbing or hemiepiphytic in moist tropical forests. We cultivate the species intermediately to warmly at about 18–28 °C, high humidity, and very good air circulation. The coarse, airy aroid substrate should remain consistently slightly moist; a stable climbing support aids natural development.
Description and notes: Anthurium pseudoclavigerum resembles Anthurium clavigerum but differs in several features of the petiole, venation, and inflorescence. Particularly attractive is the new growth, which can appear burgundy red and, as it matures, change through lighter shades of green into a vibrant green.
