Basic Information

Anthurium andraeanum
Accession: ICG00004
Latin Name: Anthurium andraeanum
Common Name: Tailflower, Flamingo flower
Taxonomy ID: 226677
Description: Anthurium andraeanum (Hort.) is an ornamental crop cultivated for its cut-flower, which is commercially second only to orchids among tropical flowers. The cut-flower consists of a protruding inflorescence called the spadix that is subtended by a modified leaf called the spathe. The spathe is usually brilliantly colored and heart-shaped and is the more attractive part of the cut-flower.
