Anthurium atrovinosum

A small terrestrial Anthurium of the mountains of Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo, south-eastern Brazil, about 40–60 cm tall with a purplish spadix and a green spathe that is wine-red inside. Specimen labels place it on rock outcrops, stream banks over ironstone soil, valley floors in quartzite campo rupestre and inside montane forest at roughly 1200–1500 m. The climate is mild with a cool, dry winter.

Where it grows wild

Collectors record it as an erect herb on rock outcrops (Pico do Itambé), beside streams on ferruginous soil, in valley bottoms within quartzite campo rupestre and in forest interior (Serra do Brigadeiro, Pedra Bonita). It seems to favour sheltered, moist spots within otherwise open, seasonal highland vegetation.

The measured sites lie at about 1200–1500 m; few specimens carry an elevation.
