Field Notes · Vol. 130 June 2026

Observations from the Field

15th October 1889. A strap-leaf Anthurium, bakeri produces long, narrow, pendulous foliage. It is a tidy, easy epiphyte that regularly produces bright red, showy berries along its spadix. It requires little fuss compared to its larger-leafed brethren, and its market value remains low and highly accessible for the casual hobbyist.
