One of the most impressive velvety Anthuriums, Anthurium metallicum Linden ex Schott belongs to section Cardiolonchium. It is a terrestrial to hemiepiphytic herb. Leaves sub-erect to spreading, aggregated mostly at the apex of the stem; petioles terete, deeply sulcate adaxially toward the apex, smooth, light green to purplish violet in the apical portion and near the base. Leaf blades are dark lustrous green and velvety above, with major veins light green to cream along the major veins.
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'.
