Anthurium coriaceum is a species Anthurium found in Brazil: Rio de Janeiro. The foliage is paddle shaped and very upright and thick like cardboard. The mid-vein down the leaf protrudes out more than most species. The leaves are slightly velvet textured. One of the more attractive birdsnest Anthuriums I grow.
