Anthurium IF please

[Tomas]

I am not able to id this Anthurium, is it cristallinum, clarinervium or something else?

A friend of mine reported growing this species successfully outside here in Rome, so I acquired a plant too. He, I think, has lost his, mine is still alive, growing in a pot, I recover it when the temperature goes lower than 0°C. Is it a miracle it surviving, or not? I see it is recomended for zone 11 and higher

Looks like a clarinervium to me.

yeah probably clarinervium, which is from mexico, so not too surprising it has some degree of cold tolerance.  what's kinda fascinating is that it can be crossed with another mexican anthurium which looks completely different... Podophyllum x Clarinervium.  the hybrid doesn't look better than either parent but perhaps it is a stronger grower.

Clarinervium

Clarinervium can also be crossed with faustomirandae. You can get a wide range of results. This is mine, some look different from mine

These are plants I grew from seed from the cross above, A. clarinervium x faustomirandae. Don't look like the plant that made the seed, genetics split and some link Fausto, some look clari

@metalfan that's a nice cross.   does your faustomirandae look like most of the google search results?  the reason i'm asking is because anthurium whitelockii seemed to be renamed as faustomirandae.   they look completely different.  what's extra confusing is that whitelockii looks nearly identical to the newly named anthurium roseonervium.   seems like the only difference is the red nerves?

From what I know, the plant currently called A. faustomirandae actually used to BE A. whitelockii. It was published by Croat in 2009 or prior as faustomirandae and the name whitelockii was discontinued. The species known as roseonervium was discovered (by Loren Whitelock) in Oaxaca Mexico and being cultivated before it was officially published to science in 2020 by Croat.

My faustomirandaes are very old, I had them a couple years prior to 2002 when we moved from our old house out to our current house and I built;t my greenhouse. They look like the standard faustomirandae
