    Dear All,

    I have an Anthurium but don't know the species of it. Can someone tell me the name of the species from below pictures?

    Many thanks and really appreciate for all replies.

    Best regards,
    James Effendy

    Resembles Anthurium jenmanii but these species are very difficult to properly identify. A botanist would not likely attempt an ID without photos of the leaves, a spathe and spadix, a photo of the catalphyll (which is the structure that forms around any new leaf) and some measurements. If it has ever produced berries, the color will also be helpful. You can compare your photo to botanist David Scherberich's photo on the link below. There are some additional clues on the webpage that may help you make a determination of it is, or is not, this species. David also has additional photos of A. jenmanii on the International Aroid Society website.

    Thanks for the explanation photopro. I will wait until I can get more pictures for all the things that you mentioned before.

    Sincerely,
