Many thanks.
Nope - that's a formerly epilithic Anthurium that has adapted to epiphytic behaviour to escape being poisoned by the walnut trees that grow in the same area. The inflorescence is definitely Anthurium, and the lower specimens I inspected have the collective vein associated with that genus as well. That habit is actually pretty typical of the scandent Ecuadorean Anthuriums.
