Spathiphyllum frailescanense

A recently described Spathiphyllum from the Sierra Madre de Chiapas, Mexico, known from Cerro El Tomate in the La Frailescana protected area at about 790–1590 m. It grows on steep montane slopes that have a long, very dry winter, so the plants almost certainly depend on moist ravines or streamsides.
