Columnea pendula

A Panamanian Columnea named by Klotzsch and Oersted and published in its current form by Hanstein in 1865, with no georeferenced wild records in GBIF. As the name suggests it is probably a hanging epiphyte, but its habitat and elevation are undocumented, so conditions here are genus-level estimates.

Where it grows wild

No habitat detail is published or recorded; the epithet suggests pendent stems, and like most Columnea it is presumed an epiphyte on mossy trunks and branches in humid forest.

Elevation unknown; no wild records carry coordinates or altitude.
