Anthurium veitchii

Anthurium veitchii, the king anthurium, is a species of epiphytic flowering plant in the family Araceae. It is endemic to Colombia. It is grown in more temperate climates as a greenhouse or houseplant for its large, pendulous leaves that can be several feet long.

The Latin specific epithet veitchii refers to a longstanding group of plant nurseries based in Exeter, UK, originated by John Veitch.
