Dischidia obovata

A Javan Dischidia described by Decaisne in 1844 and named for its obovate leaves. Its ecology is not documented. Java's monsoon climate brings a distinct dry season from June to September, so give it warmth, bright filtered light and a drier winter.

Where it grows wild

Presumably an epiphyte in forest or on trees in open country in Java. 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 at about 900 m in central Java, a default point rather than a locality.
