Anthurium alatipetiolum

A Panamanian Anthurium known from a single 1985 collection on the El Llano–Cartí road in Guna Yala (San Blas), at about 550 m. The name refers to its winged petioles. Almost nothing is published on its ecology, so grow it like other warm, wet premontane-forest anthuriums: shaded, humid and warm all year.
