Anthurium coriaceum

Anthurium coriaceum is a bird's-nest anthurium (section Pachyneurium) from south-eastern Brazil, especially the coastal granite outcrops of Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo. Its stiff, erect, leathery leaves form a funnel rosette on bare rock, often in full sun, through a distinct dry winter. It wants much more light and drying than a rainforest anthurium.

Where it grows wild

It grows terrestrially or epilithically in seasonally dry areas. Collectors record it as abundant on rocky slopes and granite inselbergs, sometimes 'in sun'. It also grows on quartzite boulders in forest patches, among cacti, palms and Canna on outcrops, in semi-deciduous seasonal forest, on coastal islands, and occasionally as an epiphyte.
