Identification. Anthurium lancifolium represents one of the most common species of the genus in Panama and is also one of the most morphologically variable (Croat 1986). This species is recognized by its habitually terrestrial habit, short stems with persistent fibrous cata- phylls and dark glandular-punctacte blades on both surfaces. All the material examined from Cerro Pirre constitutes the typical variety A. lancifolium var. lancifolium . The other known variety, A. lancifolium var. albifructum Croat is differentiated by having white ber- ries and is restricted to western Panama (Croat 1986). In the study area, A. lancifolium could be confused with A. ramonense Engl. ex K. Krause , but this latter species has blades with black glandular-punctate only on the lower surface and reddish spadices.

Distribution and ecology. Colombia, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Panama. This species is widely distributed in Panama and grows in areas of low to mid-elevations (100–1600 m). On Cerro Pirre, it is highly common in the montane cloud forests. Usually, it has a terrestrial habit, but in places above 1100 m, it can grow occasionally as an epiphyte.
