Anthurium miniatum

An Ecuadorian endemic described by Sodiro in 1903 from the eastern Andes near Cuyuja, Napo, and recollected at the Río Victoria east of Papallacta at about 2360 m. It is a plant of cool, very wet montane cloud forest. The name means 'cinnabar-red', perhaps referring to the spadix or fruit, but no description was reachable to confirm this.

Where it grows wild

Montane cloud forest on the eastern slope of the Andes along the Quito–Baeza road, around Cuyuja and the Río Victoria. Growth form is not recorded; an epiphytic habit is assumed.

One record is at about 2360 m; the second georeferenced point is placed at about 3400 m, which is probably imprecise.
