Abstract

We describe and illustrate Anthurium tiswatl, a new species of Anthurium sect. Andiphilum from Veracruz, Mexico. It is morphologically similar to A. macdougallii, but differs from that species in having long cataphylls, blades and spadix, collective veins arising from the first or fifth pairs of basal veins, and yellowish to whitish berries when ripe.
