Remarks

doi:10.36253/jopt-7947 The epithet is formed from Anthurium, a genus of Neotropical aroids, and '-oides', resembling, alluding to the general resemblance of the new species to a miniature pendent-leaved Anthurium, in particular the manner in which the petioles have a distinct terminal geniculum, a feature typical of Anthurium but very uncommon in Homalomena.
