Inflorescence — Anthurium andreanum

Anthurium-Andreanum-Hybriden

The inflorescence of Anthurium andreanum consists of a spadix and a bract spathe, the morphological parameters of which are key during distinctness, uniformity, and stability (DUS) testing.

In the reference 103 varieties crop Anthurium, where this is mentioned in the description.

During the examination of Anthurium andreanum, quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the spadix are evaluated, including its length, thickness in the middle part, and color. The dimensions of the spathe, its shape, and color are also recorded as determining morphological characteristics of the variety. All quantitative indicators are measured in centimeters and are evaluated by comparison with a standard variety, as there are no universal reference values for the species.

The morphology of the inflorescence determines the commercial value of the plant and its ornamental quality, which is critical for cut flower crops. The stability of these traits is used for variety identification, and changes in appearance, such as darkening of the spadix, are indicators of loss in commercial quality. The intensity of inflorescence development depends directly on growing conditions, including lighting and nutrition, which requires control when developing agrotechnologies.
