Me too. Ever heard of "Bullet Ants"? I've got 'em.

It is important - the microclimates change so fast here that at least that much info is necessary. Some Anthuriums are only found in the Mindo microclimate, which is Northern East-Slope. Equally, there's an insane rate of aroid endemicism in the South-Central West-slope forests, especially on sandstone beds. (For those of you following along on the map, that's the provinces of Pastaza and Morona-Santiago, hugging the Cordillera de los Llanganates and the Cordillera del Condor.)

Hey, I remember Dr. Croat from MOBOT. Aroid researcher, right? He probably doesn't know me but I knew of him. I was good friends with the girl who used to take care of the greenhouse range where alot of his wild-collected specimens resided. There was some awesome stuff in there! Man, I miss working there!

Haha it didn't occur to me to have a GPS that time. Believe it was around the Tandayapa valley area that I went to. Basically cloud forest (1800-2400m) area. It is amazing to know that Anthuriums can be so "endemicised" even within Ecuador!
