Aphelandra conformis

A Colombian Aphelandra known from very few collections; no wild records with coordinates were available, so its exact habitat is uncertain. Treat it as a typical tropical understory Aphelandra: warm, shaded, humid and evenly moist.

Where it grows wild

No species-specific habitat data; like most of the genus it is presumably a shrub of humid forest understory. The conditions below are generalised from the genus.

Unknown; no records carry an elevation. The single climate site is a lowland point (about 170 m) chosen from the country, not from a collection.
