Anthurium crassinervium
An Anthurium first described by Jacquin in 1791 as Pothos crassinervius, native to Venezuela, Colombia and nearby Caribbean islands. It is generally grown as a bird's-nest type with thick-veined leaves in an upright rosette; details of its wild habitat are sparse, so the care here leans on its range, which includes seasonally dry coasts and islands as well as moist forest.
Where it grows wild
Detailed habitat descriptions were not found. Colombian GBIF observations note it growing wild in forest and also in coffee plantations and backyards. Its range includes the dry Venezuelan Antilles and Netherlands Antilles, which suggests tolerance of seasonal drought on rocks and in open forest.
About 40 GBIF records with elevations range from 50 to 3,000 m with a median near 770 m; the upper values are doubtful and probably cultivated plants.
