A newly described species, Anthurium decipiens A. Hay & M. Cedeño form the section Belolonchium, previously very often confused with Anthurium salgarense which is a separate species.
It is a massive pachycaul terrestrial or lithophytic herb, growing to about 3 m tall.The petioles are terete, bright deep intense blood red when emerging anddeveloping a lichen-like pattern of dirty green mottled with dark grey blotches afterleaf maturity. Leaf blades are ovate-sagittate, conspicuously lobed, up to ca. 160–180 cm long, adaxially very dark green and glossy, abaxially mid green and less glossy, quilted between the major venation, thinly coriaceous/chartaceous with a distinct crinkly plastic sound when bent; major veins raised and slightly ridged adaxially, very prominent and sharply acutely ridged throughout abaxially, red in younger but fully expanded leaves, becoming yellowish with age.;
The genus name Anthurium is derived form Greek ánthos "flower" + ourá "tail" + New Latin -ium -ium . A very literal translation of this would be 'flowering tail'.
