No cultivar name of record
This patent does not name the plant, which is unusual for its date — by the mid-1990s nearly every plant patent carried a cultivar name. The grant identifies this one by its number and by a written description instead.
Nothing here is missing from our records: the patent itself states no name. Where one exists we show it, and we do not invent one.
Abstract
A new and distinct Anthurium plant named `Molly` particularly characterized by its round or elliptical red spathes each with a red-orange spadix which are held straight above the foliage on sturdy red-orange peduncles. Its leaves are very stiff, leathery, distinctly smooth, and somewhat glossy. The leaf petioles are short, rigid, and straight thereby giving plants of `Molly` a very compact appearance.
