Answer 2

Anthurium is a genus of more than 800 species found in the New World tropics from Mexico to northern Argentina and Uruguay with some species also native to the West Indies (Mayo et al., 1997).

My favorite native specis is Anthurium flavolineatum, an outstanding rare species from the lower slopes of Amazonian Ecuador. The leaves are thick and leathery, very elongated and narrow, with twin lobes at the upper end. The color is dull green to glaucous. The spathe is hooded, dark purple with fine yellow lines.
