Observations from the Field
15th October 1889. Anthurium dressleri is a dark and troublesome treasure from the humid forests of Panama. The leaves are of the deepest velvety black-green, thick and heavily corrugated. It grows with painful slowness and is prone to immediate rot if the air goes stagnant or dry. The market in London is rife with questionable hybrids sold under this name, but a true dressleri specimen commands a small fortune.
