Dischidia gibbifera

A Philippine Dischidia described by Schlechter in 1915; its name means 'bearing humps', probably referring to the flowers. Almost nothing is published on its ecology, so grow it like other lowland Philippine epiphytic Dischidias, in bright filtered light and warm humid air, and let it dry a little more in the drier months.

Where it grows wild

Presumably an epiphyte on trees in lowland forest or open wooded country, like most Philippine Dischidias. Little is published on this species beyond its original description, so conditions are built from the measured climate and what is known for epiphytic Dischidia.

No elevations are recorded; the measured point is near sea level.
