Name: Anthurium regale Linden cf.

Etymology: The genus name Anthurium is derived from the Greek words anthos (“flower”) and oura (“tail”). The Latin specific epithet regale means “royal” and refers to the plant’s impressive appearance.

Origin/Distribution: The typical species Anthurium regale is native to Peru. The designation “cf.” indicates that this plant is being compared with Anthurium regale, but that its identification is not considered fully certain.

Location/Cultivation Conditions: We grow the plant in bright to partially shaded conditions at around 18–26 °C, with high humidity and very good air circulation. A coarse, airy Aroid mix that retains a little moisture helps support its delicate roots. Keep the substrate evenly slightly moist, but avoid waterlogging.

Description and Notes: This form has large, velvety-looking leaves with prominent pale venation. Compared with typical Anthurium regale, the veining may be finer and the leaves somewhat smaller. We therefore retain the cautious designation “cf.” rather than making an uncertain taxonomic assignment.
