Anthurium pittieri var. morii Croat

Scandent, epiphytic or terrestrial; internodes 1-8.5 cm long (mostly 1.5-2); leaf scars inconspicuous; roots slender, relatively numerous at the lower nodes, few or none from the upper nodes: cataphylls thin, ensheathing stem, narrowly rounded and subapically apiculate at apex ("the apiculum 1-5 mm long), promptly weathering to pale thread-like fibers or deciduous, sometimes with the thickened basal portions persisting at the upper nodes. LEAVES scattered along the upper part of the stem; petioles (0.5-)1-7(-11) cm long, subterete, narrowly flattened adaxially. sometimes the margins weakly raised; blades usually ovate, sometimes elliptic or oblong-elliptic, drying moderately thin, gradually acuminate at apex (the acumen flat, inrolled minutely) acute to rarely obtuse to attenuate at the base, 7-14 cm long, 2-7.3 cm wide, broadest usually at the middle or in the lower third; drying dark brown to blackened; both surfaces semiglosssy. the lower surface often much paler; midrib weakly raised above, almost flat below, darker than the surface, drying raised; primary lateral veins 7-11 per side, departing midrib at 35-55° angle, moderately straight to the collective vein, moderately obscure on fresh blades, drying prominulous at least on lower surface, sometimes paler than the surface above on dried leaves; scarcely more prominent than the interprimary veins: lesser veins not visible; collective vein arising from the base, 2-6 mm from the margin, drying prominulous on lower surface. INFLORESCENCE mostly from the uppermost leaf axils, usually shorter than leaves; peduncle terete, 2-9 cm long, 1-2 mm diam., usually to 2 times longer than the subtending petiole; spathe green, moderately thin, oblong-lanceolate, 2.2-4 cm long, 6-10 mm wide, broadest just above the base, narrowly acuminate to narrowly rounded and cuspidate at apex, acute at base and decurrent 1-1.5 cm, inserted at 20-30° angle to the peduncle; stipe 2-17 mm long; spadix slender, gradually tapered toward apex, green, 1-4 cm long, 2-3 mm diam. near the base, 1-2 mm diam. near apex; flowers square, 3.1-3.3 mm wide in both directions, 2-3 flowers visible in the principal spiral, 3-4 flowers visible in the alternate spiral; tepals semiglossy, the lateral tepals 2-2.3 mm wide, the inner margin broadly rounded, the alternate pair with the inner margin concave; pistil usually weakly raised; stamens held at the level of the tepals in a relatively close circle around the pistils (the intervening space narrower than the anthers); anthers 0.4 mm long, 0.8 mm wide (dried); the thecae subrounded. INFRUCTESCENCE with berries yellow to pale orange, obovoid, 10-11 mm long, 6÷7 mm diam., rounded at apex; seeds broadly ovoid, flattened, truncate to broadly sunken at apex, rounded at the base, surrounded on 3 sides by a gelatinous, sticky substance.
