Philodendron anthracyne

A Philodendron described by Croat in 2016, known from a single collection at about 113 m near the Lita–San Lorenzo highway in Esmeraldas, northwest Ecuador. This is hot, very wet Chocó lowland forest. Little is published about the plant, so these targets come from the site climate and other lowland Chocó philodendrons.
