Episcia prancei

An Amazonian Episcia described by Wiehler in 1984, with no wild records in GBIF. Like its relatives it is presumably a creeping herb of the rainforest floor that needs constant warmth, shade and very humid air.

Where it grows wild

No habitat notes are available. By analogy with other Episcia, it likely creeps over the shaded floor of lowland rainforest, often near streams.

No elevation data; presumably Amazonian lowland.
