This anthurium species is a species from the Magnificum complex. It has not yet been described scientifically, which is indicated by the abbreviation "ined." (=ineditus, Latin for not published).
It grows in the Rio Claro area in western Colombia and is characterized by a phenotype that is very similar to that of Anthurium magnificum . They have some special features. In comparison to most Anthurium magnificum, these include the large lobes that are folded forward and touch each other in the sinus area and the square petiole that has only a few wings. The silver pattern along the primary veins is rather subtle compared to other Anthurium magnificum. The abaxial side of the leaf often appears reddish.
In the wild , Anthurium rioclaroense appears to hybridize very readily. This is why the so-called Anthurium rioclaroense "wild hybrid (WH)" is also popular among collectors.
Overall, however, it is a rare plant in horticulture, although it can be assumed that it is or was occasionally traded under the name Anthurium magnificum .
