Anthurium acaimense

A Colombian Anthurium described by Croat and W. Vargas, with no georeferenced wild records in GBIF. The epithet appears to refer to Acaime in the Cocora valley of Quindío, an upper montane cloud forest area, but this is inferred from the name only. Treat all care figures as a cautious guess for a cool Andean cloud forest species.

Where it grows wild

Nothing specific is published online. If the name refers to the Acaime area of Quindío, as it appears to, the plant grows in wet upper montane cloud forest in the Cordillera Central, where most anthuriums are epiphytes or grow on mossy banks.

Unknown. The Acaime area lies at roughly 2500–2900 m; the measured site at 174 m is a placeholder, not a collection locality.
