Epipremnum nobilis

An Epipremnum name published by Engler in 1879, with specimens from Sulawesi, the Moluccas (Seram) and Papua New Guinea. GBIF keeps it separate from E. nobile, but it may well be a spelling variant of that species. The measured sites are mild, humid hill and lower montane forest with rain all year.

The climate sites span sea level to about 1,750 m. Most lie around 700–1,000 m.
