Anthurium eggersii

A Critically Endangered Anthurium from southwestern Ecuador, named for the collector Eggers and known from very few records. No habitat or morphology notes were available, so these conditions are built from the one measured lowland site and general Anthurium care, and should be treated as provisional.

Where it grows wild

No habitat notes were found. The one measured site lies in the seasonally dry to moist lowland forest belt of southwestern Ecuador, where much of the forest has been cleared, which fits its critical status.

Only two wild records; the climate site was recorded at 570 m.
