Positive ExoticRainforest On Jan 15, 2008, ExoticRainforest from Siloam Springs, AR wrote:

According to one of the two botanists who named this species, the correct spelling is Anthurium faustomirandae.

Dr. Tom Croat of the Missouri Botanical Garden purposely shortened Faustino Miranda's name to "Fausto" for the purposes of naming this species. Dr. Croat responded to a question in this regard on the internet discussion group Aroid l with this comment to Derek Birch, editor of Aroideana, when Derek corrected the spelling of the name, "You are correct. I deliberately shorted the name to faustomirandae because Fausto is a shortened version of Faustino." There are many misspellings used on the internet but if you check any of the scientific plant sites such as TROPICOS or the International Plant Names Index you will find the spelling is correctly Anthurium faustomirandae.
