Anthurium campii

A terrestrial Anthurium described by Croat in 1991, collected mostly around Huigra in Chimborazo on steep banks of rocky streams and in cloud-forest remnants at 1350–1900 m. It has thick, short-jointed stems and dense stiff roots. Give it intermediate temperatures, a very free-draining mix and good humidity.

Where it grows wild

Specimen labels describe it as terrestrial on steep, loose soil along rocky stream banks, where primary vegetation survives only on the steepest slopes, and in cloud forest near Huigra. It has also been recorded at Jatun Sacha (450 m) and in Zamora Chinchipe (1750 m).

Mostly 1350–1900 m, median 1500 m; one Amazonian record at 450 m. A 5750 m record is an error.
