I just picked up this amazing looking anthurium. It was sold to me as a "Anthurium Condor Mirador" but it seems to also go as "Anthurium el Condor". After some research I've found that Condor and Mirador are just regions.

Is anyone familiar with this species?
If so, is this just undescribed?
If not, is this a hybrid? If so what are the parents?
Also any directions to its history etc would also be really appreciated. I like to nerd out and try to mimic where it came from.

Here's some quick pics.

Where did you get this? Ecuagenera? Ecuaflora?
This is most probably an as-yet unidentified species which is very similar to Anthurium insigne and Anthurium ivanportilloi. The name 'Condor' is most likely a 'place name' that has been given to this plant until it can be formally described. The honorific 'Mirador' here probably means that this plant was discovered and collected first in the geographic area of Mirador.

New plants are being described a lot nowdays. A push has been made to revise the sections of Anthurium and place new plants into their designated sections. Doubtless this plant will be described formally and placed at some point in time.

I have been growing Anthurium ivanportilloi for some time, it is very similar to your plant, and both are quite similar to A. insigne
