Aridarum montanum

Aridarum montanum is a rheophytic aroid from Sarawak. As the name suggests, it is associated with upland streams, although no georeferenced wild records exist. Grow it cooler and very humid, on wet rock with flowing water.

Where it grows wild

A rheophyte on rocks in forest streams, presumably at higher elevation than most of the genus. Genus-level habitat applies; there are no species-specific field notes in the sources we could reach.

No recorded elevations. The epithet points to montane streams, but that is inferred, not measured.
