Dischidia khasiana

A Dischidia described by Hooker in 1883 from the Khasi Hills of Meghalaya in north-east India. Almost nothing about it has been published since, so these conditions come from the monsoon climate of the region: hot, very wet summers and a cool, dry winter.

Where it grows wild

No habitat account was found. The name points to the Khasi Hills, a wet monsoon upland; like its relatives it is presumably an epiphyte on trees in forest or forest edges.

There are no dated wild records. The climate site sits at 83 m in the Assam lowlands, but the Khasi Hills rise to about 1,000–1,900 m, so the plant may well grow cooler than measured.
