Anthurium siccisilvarum

A Peruvian Anthurium described by K. Krause in 1930 whose name means 'of dry forests'. The single GBIF record sits at about 2000 m in the seasonally dry northern Andes of Amazonas, with a pronounced June–September dry season. Grow it brighter and drier than a cloud-forest Anthurium, with a clear dry rest.
