Aglaonema tassae

A recently described Aglaonema (Tag & Nangkar, 2018, in Pleione) from Arunachal Pradesh in the eastern Himalaya. Almost nothing is available beyond the name. It is best treated like its regional relative A. hookerianum: a shade herb of warm, monsoon-wet foothill forest.

Where it grows wild

We could not access the protologue. Aglaonemas in northeast India grow on shady, humid forest floors of foothill and lowland forest, and this profile assumes the same.

Unknown. The measured site is at 3,376 m, which cannot be right for an Aglaonema. Foothill forest below about 1,000 m is far more likely.
