Anthurium amargalense

An Anthurium from the super-wet Pacific coast of Chocó, Colombia, described in 2004 (Croat & M.M. Mora). It is collected along the Río Arusicito at the El Amargal biological station near Nuquí. It lives in near-sea-level rain forest with about 8 m of rain a year, so it wants heat, shade and constant moisture.
