The leaf blades of Anthurium longipeltatum stand erect on petioles that measure 29 to 56cm (11.4 to 22 inches) in length. The petioles which support each leaf measure 5 to 7mm (.2 to .275 inches) in diameter and are terete. The botanical term terete simply describes a petiole (stem) that is round.
The leaf blades of Anthurium longipeltatum are oblanceolate to oblong-ovate. The scientific term oblanceolate describes a leaf blade that is both oblong and lance shaped but wider near the tip or oblong and widest near the center of the blade as well as spear shaped. The blades are moderately thick (coriaceous), measuring 33 to 56cm (13 to 22 inches) in length and 14 to 28cm (5.5 to 11 inches) wide. The leaf is broadest just beneath the center of the blade. The sinus, which is the space between the upper lobes, can be parabolic (bowl like) to triangular in shape and it is not uncommon for the lobes to overlap. The upper leaf surface is semi-glossy to glossy while the underside of the blade is semi-glossy. When a new leaf blade forms the leaf is protected by a structure known as the cataphylls. In the case of Anthurium longipeltatum the cataphyll is coriaceous (leathery) and measures 6.5 to 15cm (2.65 to 5.9 inches) long. Once the leaf has fully emerged the cataphylls dry to a dark brown splitting at base. Of major note, if you observe the underside of the leaf blade closely the species can be positively identified by conspicuous glandular punctates (see photo right). A glandular punctate can best be described as small black dots on the underside of the leaf. Another prominent feature can be found by observing the midrib of the leaf. The midrib is convex (curving outward) on the upper side and significantly raised on the underside.
Another unique feature of Anthurium longipeltatum is the collective vein. All Anthurium species possess a collective vein which often completely encircles the leaf just a centimeter or so from the edge of the leaf. In the case of Anthurium longipeltatum the collective vein only partially encircles the blade but can still be found along the edges of the lower portion of the leaf approximately 5 to 10mm (.2 to .4 inches) from the leaf margin (edge). See the photo left for the position. Anthurium species are known to be highly variable and not every leaf of every specimen will always appear the same. This link explains in greater detail the scientific principle of natural variation and morphogenesis. Anthurium longipeltatum Leland Miyano from Kahaluu, Hawaii who is an expert in aroids, palms and cycads made this observation, "this is an Anthurium...I can see both a geniculum on the petiole and collective vein on the leaf blade. The collective vein does not always go around the entire blade. Sometimes it does not include the back or posterior lobes."
Unlike plants in the genus
Philodendron which
contain imperfect flowers having only a single sex Anthurium
possess perfect flowers containing both sexes. To help prevent self
pollination nature has designed the female flowers to be receptive
before the male portion of the flower produce their pollen so in
most cases an insect must bring pollen from another plant. The entire
inflorescence of Anthurium longipeltatum is supported by a
stalk known as the peduncle. The peduncle of Anthurium
longipeltatum normally measures 30 to 80cm (11.8 to 31.5 inches)
long. The largest leaf of our specimen currently measure 25.4cm (10 inches). The specimen is grown in a very fast draining soil mix in diffused light and is kept damp at all times. |

Anthurium longipeltatum Matuda, Anales Inst. Biol. Univ. Nac. Mexico 37: 75, Fig. 1. 1967. TYPE: Mexico. Oaxaca: between Vista Her-mosa and Puerto Eligio, Comaltepec Ixtlan de Juarez, elev. 1,200 m in humid forest, October 5, 1963, MacDougall 563 (MEXU, holotype). Epiphyte or terrestrial; stems green, ca. 18 cm long, 2.5-3 cm diam.; roots few, dark greenish-brown, descending; leaf scars 2-3 cm wide; cataphylls coriaceous, 6.5-15 cm long, long-acuminate at apex, drying dark brown, splitting at base, subpersistent. LEAVES with petioles erect to spreading, 29-56 cm long, 5-7 mm diam., terete; geniculum 1-4.5 cm long; blades oblanceolate to oblong-ovate, moderately thick, long-acuminate at apex, lobed at base, 33-56 cm long, 14-28 cm wide, broadest just below middle; anterior lobe 34-40.5 cm long, the margins convex; posterior lobes 4.5-10 cm long; the sinus parabolic to triangular, sometimes the lobes overlapping, acute at apex; upper surface semiglossy to glossy, lower surface semiglossy, obscurely to conspicuously punctate; the midrib prominulous, convex above, more prominently raised below; basal veins 3-5 pairs, usually free, sunken or prominulous in valleys above, raised below; primary lateral veins 8-12 per side, departing midrib at 35°-50° angle, sunken above, raised below, arcuate-ascending to collective vein; lesser veins flat to weakly sunken above, flat below; collective vein arising from the first basal vein, sunken above, raised below, 5-10 mm from margin. INFLORESCENCE erect-spreading, longer than leaves; peduncle 30-80 cm long, 3-8 mm diam., terete; spathe subcoriaceous, green sometimes faintly tinged purplish (B & K Yellow-green 8/10), oblong-lanceolate, 9-14.5 cm long, 1.5-2.2 cm wide, narrowly acuminate at apex, obtuse at base, inserted on peduncle at 30°-50° angle; spadix olive-green (B & K Yellow-green 6/5) to dark purple (B & K Blue-purple 2/10), 9-35 cm long, 7-9 mm diam. at base, 2-4 mm diam. at apex; flowers rhombic to 4-lobed, 2.5-4 mm long, 2.3-3 mm wide, the sides ± straight parallel to spiral, gradually sigmoid perpendicular to spiral; 6-7 flowers visible in the principal spiral, 7-9 flowers visible in the alternate spiral; tepals glossy, minutely papillate, sometimes with droplets as stamens emerge, lateral tepals 0.8-1 mm wide, the inner margin broadly rounded; pistils weakly emergent, green tinged with red-violet; stigma oblong-linear, 0.5-0.6 mm long, purplish with droplets apparent a few days before stamens emerge; stamens emerging from the base, the lateral stamens preceding alternates by 1 -2 spirals, exserted briefly on pinkish flattened filaments, which retract, holding stamens at edge of tepals against pistil; anthers pale yellow, held ± contiguous, 0.3-0.4 mm long, 0.5-0.6 mm wide; the-cae ellipsoid; pollen yellow to white, fading to cream. INFRUCTESCENCE pendent, spathe withered; berries subglobose to obovoid, rounded at apex, red to red-orange (B & K Red 6/7.5), 8-8.5 mm long, 5.5-6.5 mm wide; mesocarp fleshy, ± transparent with raphide cells; seeds 1-2, ovoid, cream or greenish-white. 4 mm long, 2.5 mm wide, 2 mm thick with sticky appendages at both ends. Figs. 101, 102, and 104. This species occurs in northern Oaxaca, Sierra de Juarez, Veracruz near Orizaba, and is expected in nearby Puebia in Mexico in tropical wet forest from 600 to 1,500 m elevation. The species is a member of section Belolonchium and is distinguished by its moderately thick, deeply lobed, oblong-ovate blades, which are dark green above and paler below, by its long slender spadix, by having basal veins frequently free with little or no posterior rib, and red to red-orange, subglobose berries. The collections of A. longipeltatum from northern Oaxaca are somewhat obscurely punctate whereas those collected near Valle Nacional are more conspicuously punctate. The spadix color varies from olive-green to violet-purple. Anthurium longipeltatum may be confused with A. verapazense, a species ranging from Belize to Honduras, but that species has a consistently violet-purple spadix and usually has a well developed posterior rib.Matuda considered A. longipeltatum to be similar to A. titanium (A. xanthosomifolium) but it is in no way similar or related except that the two species have posterior lobes. Anthurium titanium differs principally in lacking punctate dots on the lower blade surface. The etymology of the name is curious. Although Matuda named the plant "longipeltata" there is no part peltate. Perhaps this is a typographical error from the intended "longipetiolatum." |
