Hi folks! As Steve said, I've found this big,ornate-leafed Anthurium, which Dr. Croat says is undescribed, and forwhich I am doing the fieldwork to collect the type specimen and takethe environmental data. He mentioned y'all might like to see it! I tooka number of descriptive photos of the specimens that are growing at theQuito Botanical Gardens, and for ease of viewing they live in their owngallery. Here's the address:

I hope to find specimens with mature seed; if not I will have to takecuttings in order to home-culture the plant. When I have viable seedfor it, I'll post another message for collectors. As a private citizen,it is very difficult for me to ship live plant matter out of thecountry, but they have no problem with germplasm.
Steve: I am not normally in the coastal forests, but it looks like I'llget an opportunity to go later this month. I shall certainly keep aneye out for your species, and if I find it I will take wild photos, andthe observations you wanted. I can also bug EcuaGenera on your behalf.
Cheers!
Beth
