Anthurium brittonianum

An Anthurium known from very little material: one georeferenced specimen from Pangua canton in Cotopaxi, on the western slope of the Ecuadorian Andes, plus one literature record. Nothing about its habit or habitat is recorded, so this profile is based on the measured climate and on other anthuriums of western Andean premontane forest.
