ABSTRACT:

No amphibian has yet been reported among the many interactions between Araceae and their flower visitors. This paper reports the possible use of the inflorescences of Zantedeschia aethiopica as a habitat for Dendropsophus columbianus, and suggests that further exploration of this kind of interaction would be of interest.
