Anthurium bushii

An obscure Anthurium described by Croat in 1991, known in Ecuador from a single locality in Morona-Santiago at about 1300 m on the eastern Andean slope. Almost nothing is published about its habit, so these conditions come from the measured climate of that site and what is typical for premontane Anthurium.

Where it grows wild

Premontane wet forest on the Amazonian slope of the Andes; its growth habit is not recorded in the available data, and epiphytic is assumed as the commonest habit for Anthurium there.

The Ecuadorian record is at 1300 m; a Colombian record labelled with this name comes from about 2290 m.
