Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Does anyone grow Anthurium hookeri?, 1 by ExoticRainforest

a very important feature of Anthurium hookeri is the spacing of the secondary veins which are described in the original sceintific description as being scalariform. Scalariform venation is used to describe the spacing of the interprimary or secondary veins that extend in a roughly parallel or ladder-like fashion between the primary lateral veins. The primary lateral leaf veins are the large veins that run from the midrib to the edge (margin) while in interprimary veins are the slightly smaller veins inbetween..

The photo on this post is incorrect and my error was brought to my attention by Scott Wade. I have added another photo later showing the true scalairforme veins of Anthurium hookeri.
