Anthurium arbelaezii

A Colombian Anthurium from the slopes of the Cauca and upper Magdalena valleys, at about 950–1975 m. Some labels note tropical dry forest, including El Vínculo near Buga, while others are from premontane moist forest. No habit notes were recorded, so the conditions come from the site climate and the genus.

Where it grows wild

Records come from roadsides between La Florida and the Tolima border, near Salónica, from El Vínculo (dry forest with about 1000 mm of rain a year) and from premontane moist forest in Huila. The growth form is not recorded; terrestrial is a guess.

Records span 950–1975 m.
