Anthurium alatipedunculatum is unlikely to be threatened at present and is rated as Least Concern. This is reliant on the fact that the majority of its lowland subpopulations are well protected from the habitat destruction occurring outside protected areas. If this situation were to change, the rating of Least Concern will need to be reevaluated, due to the species' restricted range.

This species is endemic to Costa Rica. Previously thought to be restricted to lowland areas of the Osa Peninsula in Punta Arenas, Costa Rica, this species has now been found in four cantons (districts) of Punta Arenas (Osa, Golfito, Aguirre and Coto Brus) and San Jose (Dota and Prez Zeledn), at altitudes of up to 2,000 m asl.

Habitat and Ecology
Anthurium alatipedunculatum is most closely allied to A. acutangulum but differs in having a winged, angulate peduncle and a triangular petiole which is sharply sulcate adaxially. It is also similar to the rare species A. dwyeri and often confused with the sympatric species A. durandii.
