Etymology: rubrinervium: rubrus = red, reddish, nervium = veins, leaf veins
Native to: Ecuador, Peru, Brazil
Habitat: epiphytic, terrestrial in the eastern Andes and the mountain ranges along the Atlantic coasts, in premontane warm, humid mountain forests at elevations of 100–1700 m. Overall, widely distributed in the coastal regions of
northern South America.
Notes: Anthurium rubrinervium is also botanically considered a synonym of Anthurium sagittatum. The widely separated collection sites (several thousand kilometers apart) and clearly discernible differences
in leaf structure have convinced us to offer both species separately. Further investigations and adjustments will follow.
