Dischidia apoensis

A Dischidia from Mindanao in the Philippines, named after Mount Apo. The two wild records map to a very high, cool site, so it is probably a montane species that wants cool nights, bright filtered light and humid, moving air.

Where it grows wild

No habitat account was found. The name and records point to the forests of Mount Apo, where Dischidias grow as epiphytes in mossy montane forest.

The measured site sits at about 2,890 m on Mount Apo; the true collecting elevation may be lower, as old specimens are often georeferenced to the mountain.
