Dischidia australis

A southern Chinese Dischidia described in 1974, recorded in the wild from Guangxi and southern Yunnan. It is a twining epiphyte of forest trees in a monsoon climate with a cool, dry winter, so it wants warmth and water in summer and a cooler, drier rest.

Where it grows wild

Almost nothing is published on this species beyond its description, so conditions here are built from the measured climate and what is known for Dischidia generally: twining, root-climbing epiphytes with small succulent leaves on tree branches. The records come from both lowland Guangxi (about 100–250 m) and higher ground in Yunnan (about 1100–1500 m).

Few records carry an elevation; the weighted climate sites lie from about 100 to 1500 m.
