Anthurium michelii Guillaumin View in CoL ( Fig. 3I)

Material examined. Middle slopes on W side of Cerro Pirre; 07°57′N, 077°46′W; 550–760 m; 28 Jun. 1988; T. B. Croat 68897 ( MO). Parque Nacional Darién, Cerro Pirre, campamento cerca del segundo mirador; 07°59′49″ N, 077°42′43″ W; 610 m; 19 Jul. 2016; O. O. Ortiz 2726 ( PMA).

Identification. Anthurium michelii is distinguished to have oblong-elliptical, discolor blades (pale-green on the lower surface when fresh), markedly stipitate spadices and purple berries. On Cerro Pirre, there is no species related to A. michelii ; however, it could be confused with juvenile individuals of A. salvinii Hemsl. The latter species differs mainly in having cucculate cataphylls.

Distribution and ecology. Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama and Peru. In the study site, it is usual to

observe this species only in mid-elevation evergreen forests (between 600 and 800 m).
