Anthurium vestitum

An Ecuadorian endemic Anthurium described by Sodiro in 1905. The one specimen in GBIF comes from the Río Hojal–Río Lita area of Esmeraldas in the northwest, but our climate point was placed on the eastern Andean slope, so the targets below lean on the northwest foothill climate instead.

Where it grows wild

Wikipedia classes it as a plant of moist lowland forest. The Lita area is foothill Chocó rainforest of the western Andes; growth form is not recorded, and an epiphytic habit is assumed.

No recorded elevation. The Lita–Río Hojal area lies at roughly 500–1000 m.
