Dischidia griffithii

A Dischidia of Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam, recorded in the wild from western and northern Thailand at 550–600 m. It lives with a pronounced monsoon: hot, wet summers and a long dry season from December to March with cool nights, so it wants bright light and a clear dry 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 the monsoon forest belt of Thailand, where epiphytes on seasonally leafless trees get strong light in the dry season.

Recorded at 550–600 m (4 records).
