Anthurium delanayii

This name is almost certainly a misspelling of Anthurium delannayi, a little-documented Croat species known only from a handful of collections in the very wet lowland forest of Chocó, western Colombia. Treat it as a warm, constantly humid, shade-loving Chocó Anthurium; growing details are inferred from the habitat and genus rather than published for the species.

Where it grows wild

Herbarium records come from roadside wet forest between Quibdó and Medellín, near Tutunendo, one of the rainiest places on Earth. Whether it grows on trees or the ground is not recorded in the material we saw; many Chocó Anthurium are low epiphytes in shaded forest.

Collections sit at about 300–470 m, in the lowland to foothill belt of the Pacific slope.
