Abstract
An unusual and attractive member of Anthurium sect.
Dactylophyllium was discovered in French Guiana by
the naturalist Joep Moonen, in honour of whom the species is named. Anthurium
moonenii is characterized by 3-lobed leaf blades, slender,
generally pendent segments with numerous deeply sunken primary lateral
veins, and long-pedunculate inflorescences with pendent, very
elongated, slender, pale green spadices and greenish yellow
berries.
