Where it grows wild

Known from Sulawesi; the single record is from the north coast. 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 single climate site is near sea level (13 m), so treat it as a lowland plant.
