Anthurium abelardoi

A Costa Rican Anthurium known from a single wild record on the Caribbean slope of the Talamanca range, measured at about 1600 m. The only label describes a shrub-like plant about 2 m tall with thin, papery leaves. Almost nothing else is published, so care is built from the measured cool, very wet climate.
