Anthurium polyschistum (cu mostok)

Anthurium polyschistum is an unusual species of anthurium, native to Central and South America, highly prized by collectors for its unique leaves. Unlike other anthuriums, this species has palmate-compound leaves, with 5–7 lanceolate lobes, dark green, similar to cannabis leaves or the leaves of tropical trees. The texture is smooth, velvety, and the architectural appearance makes this plant a centerpiece in aroid collections.
