Stromanthe sanguinea Sonder (1849: 225) View in CoL , tropical Americas

This species has short aerial stems and long leaves that are strongly purple on the abaxial surface. Cultivar S. s. ‘Tricolor’ (fig. 8D) with variegated green-white-red foliage is popular. The heavily branched, pink-red inflorescences are held high above the leaves, but in Singapore’s tropical climate flowering occurs only very rarely.
