Anthurium crassitepalum Croat View in CoL

Material examined. Along path on ridgetop of/to Cerro Pirre from base camp called Rancho Plastico; 07°51′N, 077°42′W; 1100–1200 m; 1 Jul. 1980; J. P. Folsom 8576 ( MO). Parque Nacional Darién, Cerro Pirre; 07°46′00″N, 077°44′06″W; 1600 m; 12 May 1999; A. Zapata 1541 ( PMA).

Identification. This species is distinguished by its oblongelliptic and glandular-punctate blades, as well as by its yellow-greenish spadices with thickened tepals. On Cerro Pirre, A. crassitepalum is very similar to A. terryae Croat , but the latter species differs by its very short petioles and flowers lacking thickened tepals.

Distribution and ecology. This species is endemic to the Darien Province. In the study area, it is found only in cloud forests that are above 1100 m. During the samplings, no individuals of this species were observed.
