Anthurium radiatum

A large-leaved Anthurium described by Sodiro from the subandine forests of Angamarca (Cotopaxi, Ecuador), with ovate-elliptic blades 45–55 cm long on 50–60 cm petioles. It is Data Deficient and barely known beyond the type, so care is inferred from two records and general Andean Anthurium habits.
