Identification. This species is distinguished by its nomadic vine life form, elongated internodes, bullate blades, triangular or ovate-triangular with prominent veins on the lower dried surface. Croat (1986b) reports that this species has greenish spadices and unknown berries color; however, according to the observations in the field, this species has reddish spadices with promi- nent yellowish stamens at anthesis and whitish berries that turn red when they are mature. Anthurium niqueanum can be confused with juvenile individuals of A. dukei Croat , but the latter species is vegetatively differ- entiated by having very short internodes and markedly ribbed petioles.
Distribution and ecology. Anthurium niqueanum , known only from the Serranía de Pirre (endemic to Pan- ama), occurs in montane cloud forests, above 1100 m. This species usually grows on shrubs or small trees, up to 5 m. It is common to observe several seedlings and juvenile individuals along the forest floor.
