Anthurium polyschistum

Anthurium polyschistum is an unusual species of anthurium, native to Central and South America, highly appreciated by collectors for its unique leaves. Unlike other anthuriums, this species has palmately compound leaves with 5–7 dark green, lanceolate lobes, resembling cannabis leaves or the leaves of certain tropical trees. The texture is fine and velvety, while its architectural appearance makes this plant a standout feature in aroid collections.
