Chamaedorea vulgata
A small understory palm of the cool, wet montane forests of Chiapas and western Guatemala, recorded mostly between 1,650 and 2,450 m. Treat it as a cool-growing cloud-forest Chamaedorea: shade, steady moisture, mild days and cool nights, with a drier, cooler winter.
Where it grows wild
Recorded from montane and cloud forest on the Pacific-facing highlands of Chiapas and Guatemala. Little is published on this species; the habitat is inferred from the record sites and from related highland Chamaedorea, which grow as terrestrial palms in the forest understory.
Records span 1,650 to 2,438 m with a median near 1,970 m, so it is a cool highland plant, not a lowland one.
