Dischidia insularis

A New Guinea Dischidia described by Schlechter in 1908, known almost only from the original description. Treat it as a lowland rainforest epiphyte: warm, very humid, wet year-round, in bright filtered light.

Where it grows wild

Presumably an epiphyte in lowland New Guinea rainforest. 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 a lowland default at about 170 m.
