Columnea nariniara

Columnea nariniara appears to be a spelling variant of Columnea nariniana: GBIF lists both under the same publication (Kvist and Skog, Allertonia 6: 347, 1993) and the basionym is spelled both Bucinella nariniara and Bucinella nariniana. The records filed under nariniana come from wet premontane forest at about 550–1800 m on the Pacific slope of Nariño, Colombia, and Carchi, Ecuador.

Where it grows wild

No habitat description was reachable; like most Columnea it is presumed an epiphyte. Records of C. nariniana come from forest patches on the western slope of the Cordillera Occidental around Barbacoas and Junín (Nariño) and the Awá reserve in Carchi.

Records under C. nariniana span about 550–1800 m, most near 1000–1100 m; none are filed under this spelling.
