Anthurium (/ æ n ˈ θj uː r i ə m /; [3] Schott, 1829) is a genus of about 1,000 [4] [5] species of flowering plants, the largest genus of the arum family, Araceae. [4] General common names include anthurium , tailflower , flamingo flower , [ 6 ] pigtail plant , [ 7 ] and laceleaf .
Anthurium clarinervium occurs in Chiapas, Mexico. Bright, indirect sunlight is required for this plant. It prefers temperatures from low 70 °F (21 °C) to low 80 °F (27 °C), and humidity at 50% or higher, optimally 75-85%. The plant do not do well in small amounts of light, and veins can then lose saturation.
Within the Araceae, species are often rhizomatous or tuberous; many are epiphytic, creeping lianas or vining plants, and the leaves and tissues of the entire plant nearly always contains irritating calcium oxalate crystals or raphides, in varying degrees. [4] [5] The foliage can vary considerably from species to species.
Edema, (also spelled oedema, and named from the analogous disorder in humans and other animals), is a disorder in plants caused by the build-up of water in plant tissues faster than the leaves can transpire. [1] [2] The excess fluid bursts the cell membranes, causing the appearance of growths, particularly on the underside of leaves. [3]
Calonectria ilicicola is a fungal plant pathogen in the family Nectriaceae. It has been found to cause leaf spot in holly (Ilex spp.), root rot in blueberry, [2] red crown rot in soybean, [3] a root and crown rot of anthurium, [4] and a soft rot of ginger. [5]
Cucumber leaves afflicted with various stages of Cucumber mosaic virus. A mosaic virus is any virus that causes infected plant foliage to have a mottled appearance. Such viruses come from a variety of unrelated lineages and consequently there is no taxon that unites all mosaic viruses.
The plant contains chemicals that are toxic to animals including humans, but it has also been used as a medicine. All parts of the plant contain protoanemonin, which can cause severe skin and gastrointestinal irritation, bitter taste and burning in the mouth and throat, mouth ulcers, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and hematemesis.
