“…Paiva et al (2004) proposed that plants with high leaf replacement rate are the ideal cultivars. The production of leaves per year ranged between 6.6 (A. plowmanii) to 10.5 (A. bonplandii), This trait might be increased with the improvement of cultivation aspects, with an emphasis on spacing, plant management and fertilization, In Anthurium andraeanum, for an example, the improvement in the soil organic matter content, stimulated plants growth and yield (LIMA et al, 2016). However, an outstanding aspect of these materials was the postharvest durability superior to 30 days.…”

The Brazilian flora has a large number of species with ornamental potential. These species are poorly recognized or even completely unexplored. The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential use of four accessions belonging to the species of Anthurium plowmanii, A. raimundii, A. bonplandii and A. Affine for cutting foliage. The accessions from Embrapa Germplasm Bank of Tropical flowers were evaluated for 21 morphological and phenological characteristics and post-harvest longevity. The ornamental characterization was based on the evaluation of this data and florist acceptance as well. The accessions presented differences in almost all the characteristics related to the morphology of the inflorescence and the leaf. Some characteristics such: fruit color, petiole, spadix, and spathe length, are highly variable within the species and depend on the developmental stage. Some characters like petiole length and inflorescence position are particularly important as indicators for the use as cut foliage. The plants have slow development as typical from members of this family and and the production of leaves per year ranged between 6.6 (A. plowmanii) to 10.5 (A. bonplandii), which might be increased with the improvement of cultivation aspects, with an emphasis on spacing, plant management and fertilization. The leaves of Anthurium plowmanii, A. raimundii, A. bonplandii and A. affine present high postharvest durability and great potential as cut foliage, possessing florist acceptance as well. Keywords: cut foliage, germplasm bank, floral arrangement, and postharvest durability. RESUMO Avaliação do Potencial de uso de espécies nativas de Anthurium para folhagemA flora brasileira tem um grande número de espécies com potencial ornamental, muitas dessas são pouco reconhecidas ou inexploradas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o uso potencial de quatro acessos pertencentes às espécies de Anthurium plowmanii, A. raimundii, A. bonplandii e A. Affine para produção de folhagem de corte. Os acessos pertencentes ao Banco de Germoplasma de flores tropicais da Embrapa foram avaliados quanto a 21 características morfológicos e fenológicos, bem como a longevidade pós-colheita e potencial ornamental, baseado na aceitação de floristas. Os acessos apresentaram diferenças significativas em quase todas as características relacionadas com a morfologia da inflorescência e da folha. Algumas características tais: cor de fruta, pecíolo, espádice e comprimento espata, são altamente variáveis entre e dentro dos acessos e dependem do estágio de desenvolvimento. As caracteristicas comprimento do pecíolo e longevidade pós-colheita são particularmente importantes como indicadores para a utilização como folhagem de corte. As plantas têm desenvolvimento lento como típico de membros desta família, e a produção de folhas medio por ano variou entre 6,6 (A. plomanii) a 10,5 (A. bonplandii), o que talvez possa ser incrementado com o aprimoramento dos aspectos de cultivo, com ênfase no espaçamento, manejo da planta e adubação. As folhas de ...
