Anthurium scandens var. latifolium

K. Krause 1932

This natural variety of A. scandens comes from the Central and South America.
It belongs to the section Tetraspermium and it's a climbing plant.

That's why the variety name latifolium - the leaves are more broad than in the species A. scandens
Comparing to the other species of Anthurium,
its inflorescence is very tiny - spadix 1.5 cm, spathe 1.2 cm.
In December of 2004 it started to make 3 fruits.
It had to be self-pollinated, because any other Anthurium didn't bloom at home.
