Anthurium pirottae

An Ecuadorian endemic Anthurium described by Sodiro in 1905 and known from a single collection in the lowland forests of Esmeraldas, between the Cachabí and Santiago rivers. Almost nothing about its form or ecology has been published, so growing conditions are inferred from the hot, wet Chocó lowlands where it was found.

Where it grows wild

Lowland moist forest of the Chocó region in northwest Ecuador. The only specimen gives no habitat detail; like most Anthurium there it is probably an epiphyte or a plant of the forest floor.

The single collection has no elevation; the Cachabí–Santiago area lies in the lowlands, below about 300 m.
