Anthurium amistadense

Described by Croat in 2020 from La Amistad International Park near Cerro Punta in Chiriquí, western Panama. It is known from a single collection in virgin forest above the old roads at Las Nubes. The altitude of that site is uncertain (see data disagreements), so treat the targets as a best estimate.
