Columnea eburnea

A Columnea first described by Wiehler as Dalbergaria eburnea, recorded mostly from Ecuadorian foothill forest around 600 m. It grows warm, with a marked July–September dry spell in its range; keep it humid and only slightly drier then. Little has been published on this species beyond its description, so habitat detail is inferred from the measured sites and from related Columnea.

Where it grows wild

An epiphyte in lowland to foothill wet forest, apparently on the Pacific side of the Andes given the July–September dry spell. Plants of the former genus Dalbergaria are typically bushy epiphytes on trunks and branches.

Records span 0–2250 m, median 600 m; treat it as a warm foothill plant.
