Dischidia livida

A Philippine Dischidia named by Elmer in 1938, a name GBIF flags as not validly published. The few wild records come from the lowlands of the eastern Visayas or southern Luzon, a hot, wet climate. Grow it warm, bright and moist all year.

Where it grows wild

Known from a handful of Philippine records; no habitat notes beyond its epiphytic habit are available. Nothing is published on its ecology beyond the original description, so this profile rests on the measured climate and on how lowland Malesian Dischidia grow: rooting along stems on bark in fairly bright, humid forest.

The climate site sits at about 50 m, so treat it as a lowland plant.
