Anthurium sp. Dorayaki is a velvet-leaf Anthurium selection or hybrid grown in the trade under this name. It belongs to the "velvet-leaf" group of Anthurium, a category of Central and South American species and hybrids prized since the late 1800s for dark, textured foliage with contrasting venation.
Note: as a freshly imported bare-root plant, this specimen typically arrives with just a few leaves — the photo shows a more mature, fuller specimen for reference.
Care tip: Treat as you would most velvet-leaf Anthurium — bright indirect light, high humidity, and a light, well-draining aroid mix that's allowed to approach dryness between waterings.
Give it bright, indirect light, high humidity, and an airy mix of orchid bark, perlite, and a little peat or sphagnum. As with any hybrid or informally named selection, individual plants can vary somewhat in leaf shape and vein pattern — the photo shows a mature reference specimen — your bare-root plant will typically be smaller.
Anthurium breeders continue to produce new named selections and hybrids within the velvet-leaf group at a steady pace, and finds like this one reflect just how much variation and ongoing development is happening within the genus.
