Anthurium polyschistum

Anthurium polyschistum is a small climbing Anthurium from the western Amazon, recognised by leaves split into many narrow segments. It grows in lowland and foothill rain forest in Ecuador, Colombia, Bolivia and, per GBIF records, Peru. Botanic gardens already grow it, and it wants warm, humid, shaded conditions and something to climb.
