Anthurium bromelicola and A. sterilispadix (Araceae): two distinct bromeliad commensals with highly unusual inflorescence morphology endemic to Northeast Brazil

Abstract— During a collection expedition on the banks of the Inauiní River, in Terra Firme Forest, near the town of Boca do Acre, Amazonas State, an unknown species of Anthurium with the shortest known spadix was found. It is described and illustrated here as a new species, Anthurium bovinii. Additional information on phenology, ecology, distribution, and comparison with closely related taxa are presented.
