Anthurium papillilaminum

Anthurium papillilaminum is a species of plant in the genus Anthurium native to Panama.[1] A. papillilaminum grows terrestrially and has very dark green cordate leaves on short stems.[2] Its native range is very limited, with the species endemic to only the coasts of Colón Province and Darién Province up to 100 meters (330 ft) above sea level.[3] A member of the section Cardiolonchium, it is closely related to other velvet-leaved Anthuriums, though it does not have silver veins on the leaves like Anthurium crystallinum.[4]
