Anthurium resectum

An Ecuadorian endemic Anthurium described by Sodiro in 1907 from the Nanegal area on the western Andean slopes of Pichincha. Only a couple of specimens are known and nothing about its ecology beyond the forest type has been published, so the care targets here are inferred from the measured climate and the genus.

Where it grows wild

Moist premontane to montane forest on the western slope of the Andes near Nanegal. The specimens carry no habitat notes; it is probably an epiphyte or a plant of the humus layer like most local Anthurium.

The measured site is at about 1170 m; the Nanegal valley spans roughly 1000–2000 m.
