Anthurium longipeltatum Matuda, Anales Inst Biol. Univ. Nac. Mexico 37: 75,f. 1. 1967

Distribution: Norhtern Oaxaca and southern Veracruz, Mexico
Sectional Placement: Anth. longipeltatum belongs to a closely related group, with cordate leaf blades and glandular punctations, that had been placed in section Belolonchium. T.
