Anthurium andreslovinense

A Mexican Anthurium described by Matuda in 1966 from San Andrés Lovine near Pluma Hidalgo in the Sierra Sur of Oaxaca. Labels describe humid, very shady forest at about 1,200 m. Unlike most anthuriums, it goes through a long, nearly rainless winter, so a drier rest suits it.
