Columnea robusta

Columnea robusta is a Colombian species first described by Wiehler and transferred to Columnea by Skog in 2003. There are no usable wild GBIF records within its native range; the only climate point is a single lowland site at about 170 m. Everything below is inferred from that point and from warm-growing Columnea, so treat it as a rough guide.
