Anthurium amnicola

Tulip anthurium

A small, clumping rheophytic Anthurium from central Panama with narrow leaves and tulip-like pink to lavender spathes; it was once grown in Hawaii for cut flowers and is still sold as a houseplant. In the wild it roots onto boulders in and beside streams in the foothills of Coclé, so it likes warmth, constant moisture and good air.
