    Hey folks! After a meeting with Dr. Tom Croat of the MOBOT, we've decided that I have discovered a new species of Anthurium in Sect. Belolonchium. The pics appended are the lovely specimens that are growing in the Quito Botanical Gardens, and I have been tasked with taking a trudge off into the wild to see if I can find it there.

    Wish me luck, folks! If I can find seed, is anyone interested?

    Is that a trick question? If a few spare happened to come my way, that would be incredible! Good luck and what joy to be sent on such a task :}

    Dr. Croat said he'd never seen anything quite like it...
