Anthurium pallidiflorum

An Anthurium endemic to the lowland and foothill forests of western Ecuador, mostly at 140–700 m in Pichincha, Los Ríos and Esmeraldas. It lives in warm, humid forest, though some collections come from seasonally dry forest. Published information on its growth habit is thin, and the IUCN notes it is threatened by habitat loss.
