Anthurium atroviride

A very poorly known Anthurium endemic to Ecuador, known from a 1901 collection in forest on the western slope of the Atacazo volcano near Quito. Nothing specific has been published about its habit or conditions that we could reach; targets are generalised from upper-montane Andean anthuriums.

Where it grows wild

The only label says forests on the western slope of Atacazo. Habit is not recorded; epiphytic growth is assumed as the commonest habit for Andean anthuriums.

No elevation recorded; forest on Atacazo's western slope likely lies at roughly 2500–3500 m.
