Epipremnum dahlii

A little-known Epipremnum described by Engler in 1898, native to the Bismarck Archipelago and also collected in the Solomon Islands. Herbarium labels place it in primary lowland rainforest, on river banks and near the sea, so it is a warm, humid, climbing aroid like its relatives.

Where it grows wild

Primary lowland rainforest, river banks (including within tidal reach) and forest near the seashore on New Britain and in the Solomon Islands. Like other Epipremnum it is presumably a root-climbing hemiepiphyte, although the labels do not say so.

Records are from near sea level (about 2 m) to low hills, such as Mt. Alasaa on Malaita.
