Anthurium crystallinum is a species of flowering plant in the aroid family Araceae, native to rainforest margins in Central and South America, from Panama to Peru. Growing to 90 cm (35 in) tall and broad, it is an epiphytic perennial, characterised by large, velvety oval leaves with prominent white veining, and inflorescences with green spathes and pale green spadices throughout the year.[2][3]
Requiring a minimum temperature of 16 °C (61 °F), in temperate regions it is cultivated under glass or as a houseplant. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[4]
