Identification. This species is characterized by having slender stems, elongate internodes, fibrous cata- phylls, palmately-compound leaves, leaflets with entire margins, long and slender peduncles that almost equal petioles in length, and greenish tapered spadices. In the study area it can be confused with A. pentaphyllum var. bombacifolium (Schott) Madison , but this species differs in having subauriculate basal leaflets, inflorescences with short peduncles and grayish to violet spadices.
Distribution and ecology. Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela. This species of widespread distribution commonly grows along the semideciduous to evergreen forests of Cerro Pirre, generally between 90 and 700 m.
