Anthurium brownii Mast. View in CoL
Material examined. Cerro Pirre, campamento Rancho Frío, cercano a la loma ensucia pecho; 07°59′49″N, 077°42′45″W; 636 m; 2 Aug. 2016; O. O. Ortiz 2667 ( PMA).
Identification. This species is easily recognized by its epiphytic habit, persistent fibrous cataphylls, cordate to hastate-trilobate blades, usually with undulate margins and lilac spadices. In the field, it can be confused with Anthurium sp. 2 , but differs in having larger blades, green cucullate spathes, and yellow spadices.
Distribution and ecology. Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama, and Venezuela. In the study area, this species grows at mid-elevation (500– 700 m) areas in evergreen forests. It is relatively abundant and can grow occasionally as terrestrial (falling from trees), but is usually epiphytic.
