Anthurium interruptum Sodiro View in CoL
Material examined. Cerro Campamento (south of Cerro Pirre), cloud forest: 07°47′N, 077°43′W; 20–22 Mar. 1968; J. A. Duke 15714 ( MO).
Identification. Anthurium interruptum is characterized by its epiphytic-climbing habit, stems with elongate internodes, lanceolate to elliptical, oblong-elliptic or oblanceolate blades, brownish-black (when dry), and reddish berries. On Cerro Pirre, the most similar to A. interruptum is Anthurium sp. 1 , but the latter differs in having shorter internodes, chartaceous and yellowish blades.
Distribution and ecology. Belize, Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Panama. Croat (1983) mentioned that A. interruptum is a very common species in lowland areas between 100 and
1000 m ( Croat 1983). However, during the sampling at Cerro Pirre no individual was observed.
