Anthurium rugulosum Sodiro
 

Below are two close-up photos of the underside of Anthurium rugulosum Sodiro.  As can be seen, the plant has pubescence
(hair) on the petiole and veins.  Pubescence is uncommon to aroids.  The pubescence on our specimen is quite short and fine
indicating the plant came from the Baeza-El Chaco region of Ecuador.  The photos are strongly magnified and are approximately
6 and 4 times life size.  The pubescence appears to be less than 1/2 mm in most cases, especially on the petiole.  The lower
part of the measuring tape is in millimeters.  The distance between the red "10" and black "1" which follows is 1 centimeter.
