Anthurium delannayii

Anthurium delannayi (Croat) is known from herbarium collections in the very wet Chocó lowlands of western Colombia, along the Quibdó–Medellín road at about 300–470 m. Treat it as a hot, shade-loving rainforest Anthurium that never wants to dry out or get cold. Its exact habit is not documented, so details come from the genus in that region.
