Anthurium bocainense

A small terrestrial Anthurium of the Serra da Bocaina in the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil, known from only a few collections at about 1100–1500 m. Herbarium labels describe a shade-loving herb of the montane forest floor with discolorous leaves and a reddish to wine-coloured peduncle and spathe. It suits a cool-intermediate, humid terrarium.
