Anthurium dwyeri is a species of plant in the genus Anthurium native from Costa Rica to the Chocó Department of Colombia.[1] Named in honor of the botanist Dr John D. Dwyer, it has no known close relatives but is a member of the section Porphyrochitonium.[2] An epiphyte, it is most easily recognizable by its leathery, oblong to elliptical leaves that are 24–40 centimetres (9.4–15.7 in) long and grow on triangular stems.
