Anthurium nicolasianum

A data-deficient Ecuadorian Anthurium known from Sodiro's 1892 collection near San Nicolás, with short climbing stems and glossy, leathery, elongate-cordate leaves about 35 cm long. Little is known about it in the wild, so conditions here come from the one measured site and the genus. Treat it as a cool-to-intermediate montane climber.
