I Speak For The Trees

Trilobate Anthurium, from the upper transitional forests above Mera, Pastaza Province.  This is the first of a wide range of trilobate Anthuriums I saw in these forests; there is a very wide variation in both habit and leaf shape and size for these plants, although I am certain that a number of them were juvenile specimens.  From their general habit and inflorescences, I would attribute them as members of Section Semaeophyllium.  This particular plant was an arboreal epiphyte with leaf blades of at least 1 meter on the largest examples.
