Definition
A tropical plant with distinctive heart-shaped leaves and colorful, waxy flower-like structures, commonly grown as a houseplant.
Etymology
From Greek 'anthos' (flower) + 'oura' (tail), named in the 1820s because the flower spike resembles a tail sticking up from a leaf-like spathe.
Kelly Says
The 'flower' you see on an anthurium isn't actually a flower at all—it's a modified leaf called a spathe, and the real tiny flowers are clustered on that tail-like spike, making it one of nature's most elaborate disguises.
