Anthurium radicans, the trailing anthurium, is a species of flowering plant in the family Araceae. [2] A climber, it is native to wetter areas of eastern Brazil. [1] Its unusual flower morphology led to it being placed in its own section, Chamaerepium, but this has been refuted by molecular analysis. [3] Available from specialist nurseries, it is valued as an indoor ornamental for its trailing habit and attractive foliage. [2]
