Anthurium clavigerum is a species of plant in the genus Anthurium. Native to Central and South America, it ranges from Honduras to central and western Brazil.[1] This epiphyte has distinctive leaves that are deeply lobed and sometimes sinuous edges.[2] The main stem can be several meters long and the palmate leaves can be 2 meters (6 ft 7 in) across, giving it the largest foliage of any Anthurium in Central America.[3][4][5]
