Anthurium archilae

A Guatemalan Anthurium known from three specimens in cloud forest at about 1575–1720 m, in western Quiché and the Biotopo del Quetzal in Baja Verapaz. Nothing on its habit is published in sources we could reach, so the care below is built from the measured climate and the genus in montane cloud forest.
