Rare species endemic to Jamaica. Features gray-green leaves and a simple or few-branched inflorescence.
A robust hemiepiphyte described in recent years, historically confused with other large species in Panama. It features large, pinnatifid leaf blades that can develop fenestrations near the midrib. The spathe is distinctively pale green to white. It is primarily found in the Coclé province of Panama.
A small species forming a distinctive spherical rosette of fine, needle-like green leaves radiating outward from a central point, typically 7 to 10 cm in diameter. Predominantly saxicolous, growing on cliff faces, and rarely epiphytic. Produces a single large tubular red flower from the center of the rosette. Leaves may blush orange to red prior to flowering. Taxonomically close to T. funckiana, sharing similar growth form and flower morphology.
A hemiepiphyte from the western Amazon. The species name refers to the golden or yellowish color of the pinnules (leaf segments) when dried or possibly the sap, though living specimens have green leaves. The leaves are pinnatifid and can become quite large.
An epiphytic species described by Rauh in 1974, placed in subgenus Tillandsia (= Platystachys). The rosette reaches approximately 40 cm in height with a moderately bulbous base about 10 cm in diameter. The leaf sheaths are roundish-oval, densely covered with dark brown appressed trichomes. The leaf blades are narrowly triangular, up to 30 cm long and 2 cm wide near the sheath, involute, with dense grey appressed trichomes beneath and sparse trichomes above. The scape is 5 to 15 cm long, shorter than the rosette, erect but curving downward at the apex. The inflorescence is pendulous, up to 40 cm long, bipinnate, with narrow spikes bearing bicolored floral bracts in orange-yellow and green. The flowers are yellow. The species grows primarily in the wet tropical biome of Ecuador.
A terrestrial species prized for its large, velvety, heart-shaped leaves featuring prominent silver-white venation. Leaves can reach 40-60 cm in length and have a dark green to nearly black coloration. The inflorescence is inconspicuous with a greenish spathe and spadix. New leaves emerge with a bronze or reddish tint.
A rare lithophytic bromeliad endemic to the southern Espinhaço Range in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Forms rosettes with narrow leaves and produces compound inflorescences with orange-yellow flowers. Named after botanist Apparicio P. Duarte. Originally described as Cryptanthus duartei.
A rare species endemic to Costa Rican cloud forests. It features large, pinnatifid, and perforated leaves. It is the true species often confused with the "Esqueleto" clone in cultivation. It differs from Monstera adansonii by its larger size, pinnatifid margins, and high-elevation habitat.
A compact terrestrial or lithophytic species distinguished by its oval to teardrop-shaped leaves that lack the typical basal sinus found in most Anthurium species. Leaves are dark green with silver venation, reaching 15-25 cm in length. The leaf surface has a velvety texture. Produces inconspicuous inflorescences.
A terrestrial species characterized by large, broadly heart-shaped leaves with prominent white venation against a dark olive-green to nearly black background. Leaves can reach 30-60 cm in length with a velvety texture. The petioles are distinctively quadrangular (four-sided) in cross-section, which distinguishes it from the similar A. crystallinum. New leaves emerge with a bronze to burgundy coloration.
A small deciduous pachycaul tree reaching up to 1.2m tall with a barrel-shaped trunk covered in corky, warty bark. Branches grow in a distinctive zigzag pattern. Produces tiny glossy compound leaves and small yellowish-green flowers. Dioecious species. Autumn foliage turns red before leaf drop.
A terrestrial bromeliad originally described as Cryptanthus sanctaluciae by Leme and Kollmann, named after the Santa Lucia Biological Reserve in Espírito Santo where it was discovered. Transferred to Rokautskyia in 2017. The species was found growing saxicolously in association with Selaginella and Anthurium on shaded, humid rocky walls within the Atlantic Forest. Distinguished from the closely related R. roberto-kautskyi by non-zonate leaf undersides, a distinct scape 11-15 cm long, and shorter sepals. Endemic to Espírito Santo state.
Unique species with leaves that appear pinnately compound, resembling a palm frond rather than a typical heart-shaped Monstera.
An epiphytic species known for its exceptionally long, pendant, corrugated leaves that can exceed 90 cm in length under optimal conditions, with some specimens reaching over 2 meters. Leaves are lance-shaped with deep horizontal ridges giving a quilted appearance. New leaves emerge bronze-colored before maturing to dark green.
