Where it grows wild

Records come from montane forest in Santander on the western slope of the Eastern Cordillera. As in most Columnea it is presumably an epiphyte; its microhabitat is not documented in sources we could reach.

GBIF records span 1600–1920 m with a median of 1850 m (11 records with elevation).
