Very sought-after and very rare Anthurium vittariifollium variegata is a veriegated from of Anthurium vittariifolium Engl. It is a pendent Anthurium growing on lower elevations. It belongs to section Urospadix. Petiole is rounded abaxially, flat (or even) above. Leaf blades are subcoraceous, sublinear, and uo 1.5 m long, narrowed from the 3 cm wide middle toward the acute base and gradually toward the apex; midrib rounded in (or at) the slender back.
The genus name Anthurium is derived from Greek ánthos "flower" + ourá "tail" + New Latin -ium -ium . A very literal translation of this would be 'flowering tail'.
