Dischidia tomentella

Dischidia tomentella is an epiphytic Dischidia described by Ridley in 1911 from the Malay Peninsula and also listed for Thailand. It is known essentially from its description; conditions here come from the measured lowland climate of its range and general Dischidia habits.

Where it grows wild

Presumably an epiphyte on trees in lowland forest, like most Malayan Dischidia; the epithet points to finely hairy parts. No habitat notes were found.

Elevation unknown; the measured sites are regional fallbacks in the lowlands.
