In the study area, A. obtusum is similar to A. scandens subsp. Scheffer pusillum, but the latter has narrower leaves, very small spadices (ca 1.0 cm long) and reflexed spathes.
Distribution and ecology. Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guyana, French Guiana, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, Peru,
Suriname, and Venezuela. On Cerro Pirre, this species is only known from a collection made in the semidecidu- ous lowland forests. During the samplings, no individuals of this species were observed.
