Anthurium alegrense

A Brazilian Atlantic Forest Anthurium from southern Espírito Santo, around Alegre and the Serra das Torres. It grows on shaded rocks (saxicolous) or on the ground at about 200–700 m, and can be abundant there. Old cataphylls break down into a fibrous mass at the stem tip. The spathe and spadix are green or wine-red. Unlike most anthuriums, it has a real cool, dry winter.
