Heliconia monteverdensis is a species of Heliconiaceae that is endemic to the Monteverde cloud forestof Costa Rica. A limited amount of research has been conducted concerning H. monteverdensis, therefore, little is known about its life history. In this study, simple observations are reported with regards to its distribution, physical characteristics and interactions with its community. The effect of location and elevation on the fitness, (the ability of the plant to survive and reproduce), of H. monteverdensis was also studied. The three locations compared were the Atlantic slope, the Pacific slope and the Ridge in between the two slopes. Five parameters were then used to measure fitness; leaf size and number of flowers, bracts, leaves, and...
