Don,
I believe that this is an Anthurium species, but I'm not sure of
the species, and don't have any of the books I need here at the home office
- they're all at work. I would look in the Anthurium of Panama Mobot
Monograph Tom Croat put out a while ago now as my first choice. It looks
familiar to me, and we worked alot with Panamanian collections for awhile
at one of my former haunts.
