- Berries and seeds unknown.
- Distribution

- Ecology
- Terrestrial in ‘campo rupestre’; 1,000 m.
- Conservation
- Anthurium morii is a rare species, having been found only once. The preliminary IUCN conservation rating is Data Deficient [DD].
- Note
- Named for Scott A. Mori, the collector of the only known specimen, in recognition of his work on the Bahian flora. Anthurium morii is known from a single collection made near the small town of Mucugê, on the eastern side of the Chapada Diamantina. This locality is almost central within the known range of A. zappiae Haigh, Nadruz & Mayo (see below) and A. morii is very similar to this species in characters unusual in section Urospadix, i.e. the basally lobed leaves and minutely scabrid-verrucose petioles and peduncles. We nevertheless propose it as a separate species because of the following combination of vegetative characters, which separate the two species on the available material; this character combination needs to be tested by new field studies. In A. morii, the petiole is usually longer (median length 93 cm), the leaf blade is broadest above the petiolar plexus and cordate rather than sagittate or hastate, the posterior lobes are retrorse with four basal veins, the anterior lobe has nine to ten primary lateral veins, the leaf apex is deeply emarginate and there are two distinct inframarginal collective veins rather than one. A. zappiae has a shorter petiole (median length 34 cm), the leaf blade is broadest below the petiolar plexus across the sagittate to strongly hastate posterior lobes, there are usually three basal veins, the anterior lobe has ten to 14 primary lateral veins, the leaf apex is acute to rounded and there is only one distinct inframarginal collective vein.
