Anthurium hoffmannii

A widespread Anthurium of Costa Rica and western Panama, named by Schott in 1858, found mostly between 1000 and 1500 m. It grows on the forest floor and on rocks along rivers, so it takes brighter light than a deep-shade plant and likes mild temperatures.

Where it grows wild

Labels describe it as terrestrial in forest, on rocks in and along rivers such as the Río Sonador and Río San Isidro, on rocky river banks near Boquete, and once as an epiphyte on a large fallen trunk. It occurs in premontane rain forest and forest patches.

Recorded from 40 m to about 1850 m in the labels seen, median about 1240 m; a 3137 m record is probably an error.
