Variety traits
Spadix — Anthurium andreanum
Anthurium-Andreanum-Hybriden
The spadix is a key morphological trait of Anthurium andreanum, determining a cultivar’s ornamental value, physiological state, and vase life.
In the reference 111 varieties crop Anthurium, where this is mentioned in the description.
In the context of DUS and UPOV variety trials, the Anthurium spadix is assessed during the period of full inflorescence development. Primary measured parameters include width at the middle section and color, which undergoes consistent changes during development from anther dehiscence in the basal third to the end of flowering.
Physiologically, the spadix performs a transpiration function, making it a critical factor for cut flower longevity. The plant’s aesthetic value depends on the color contrast between the spadix and the spathe, while impaired development or premature wilting of the spadix serve as indicators of improper care or exhaustion of the flowering cycle.
