Name: Anthurium magnificum 'Silver', Linden 1865
Synonyms: Anthurium sanderi, Sander 1908
not Anthurium magnificum, Bull 1865 = Anthurium grande, Bull 1865
Etymology: magnificum = magnificent, excellent

Origin: Colombia
Habitat: The species is considered endemic to elevations of 800–2,125 in the Colombian Cordilleras, where it grows primarily as an epiphyte in a warm, humid climate. However, sites have since also been reported in Panama, and there are reports that Anthurium magnificum is spreading as an invasive species in southern China.
Notes: Anthurium magnificum LINDEN was discovered in the eastern Cordilleras by Braam, a collector for Linden. Linden displayed the foliage plant at the 1865 exhibition in Amsterdam, where it attracted considerable attention:
Our accompanying illustration cannot convey the beauty of these excellent plants, for their leaves eventually reach a diameter of 1.5–2 feet, and the olive-green surface with white markings along the veins has that peculiar, beautiful metallic sheen that no brush can reproduce. (Gartenflora Vol. 15)
Please note the illustrations; they clearly show how differently the foliage of one and the same plant can be colored at the same time.

Culture: Intermediate to warm, at around 18–27 °C, with high humidity and bright, indirect light. Use a coarse aroid mix and keep it evenly slightly moist.
