You're welcome Dan. This link http://www.htbg.com/search.php?plantname=Anthurium has many very similar examples, unfortunately most are listed as Anthurium sp.

Lifeforms are variable in the genus including "climbers": "Anthurium polyschistum grows as a terrestrial, an appressed epiphytic climber growing close to the host as well as a hemiepiphytic aroid." http://www.exoticrainforest.com/Anthurium%20polyschistum%20pc.html
