Anthurium pulcachense

An Anthurium described by Croat in 2008 from the lowland to premontane forest of San Martín, northern Peru. Almost nothing is published on its ecology, so these conditions come from the measured climate at its collection sites around 630–925 m: hot days, warm nights and a drier spell from June to October.

Where it grows wild

Known from a handful of collections in humid forest on the eastern Andean foothills of San Martín. Its growth habit is not documented in sources we could reach; like most Anthurium of this zone it probably grows as an epiphyte or on the forest floor in shade.

Recorded at 630–925 m, most records at about 630 m.
