Where it grows wild

It is recorded from premontane wet forest on the Pacific (Choco) slope of the northern Ecuadorian Andes, with one Amazonian record. We could not find its habit; epiphytic is assumed because that is the most common Anthurium habit there.

Recorded at 300-1295 m, median 647 m: foothill premontane forest.
