Columnea raymondii

Columnea raymondii is a Costa Rican gesneriad described by C.V. Morton in 1969. Its 54 wild GBIF records run from sea level to 1740 m, but most come from lowland wet forest in the south Pacific region around 200-300 m. Little is published on its habitat, so these conditions come from the measured climate and from other lowland epiphytic Columnea: warm, humid and never dry for long.

Where it grows wild

Probably an epiphyte or low scrambler in lowland and foothill wet forest, as is usual in the genus; the species' own ecology is poorly documented.

Recorded at 1-1740 m, median 300 m; the bulk of records are lowland.
