Anthurium besseae

A Bolivian Anthurium described by Croat in 2005 from plants collected along the old road from Cochabamba to Villa Tunari in the Chapare, and since grown in botanical gardens and by Ecuagenera. Its exact wild elevation is unclear, so give warm, humid, shaded conditions.

Where it grows wild

Known from the humid Chapare slopes along the old Cochabamba–Villa Tunari road. That road descends from the Andes to wet lowland forest, and all records we found are cultivated plants.

One label gives 240 m, but the Villa Tunari lowlands lie at about 300 m and the old road climbs far higher, so the elevation is uncertain.
