Anthurium barfodii

An Ecuadorian aroid described by Croat in 2022 and known from only two collections near Zapallo Grande on the Río Cayapa in Esmeraldas. It grows in lowland Chocó rain forest and second growth at about 200 m, so it wants warm, humid, shaded conditions all year. Almost nothing about its growth habit is published.
