Abstract
A new variety of Anthurium is provided. It is a medium size plant, suitable for production in 15 cm to 25 cm pots from a single tissue culture produced microcutting with vigorous growth; early and abundant branching; early and abundant year-round flowering. Leathery, extremely dark green and glossy leaves sharply contrast with long-lasting, medium, uniform-in-size spathes of unusual pink color with dark spadixes. Most spathes are held almost centrally at nearly the same level above foliage on strong peduncles, red in their distal part.
