Anthurium Decipiens
Anthurium Decipiens is an extraordinary plant species found in the Colombian Andes, particularly in the Tatamá massif. It's distinct from its closely related plant, A. salgarense Croat, which is often confused with it by collectors.
Anthurium Decipiens stands out for its rare trait of having a spadix that emits a foul odor, attracting Sarcophaga flies. This is a unique occurrence not previously observed in Anthurium plants or the larger plant family it belongs to.
In a different habitat in Chocó, it appears scentless and attracts large euglossine bees when cultivated. Additionally, the species features eye-catching black and orange/scarlet berries that resemble hanging arillate seeds.
