Marcgravia crassicostata

An Atlantic Forest endemic of south-eastern Brazil with no georeferenced wild records at all; the climate here comes from a single representative point in the Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais hills. Treat it as a warm-growing shingling Marcgravia with a marked cooler, drier winter, and grow it like the better-known Atlantic Forest species.

Where it grows wild

Presumably a root-climber on trunks and rock in Atlantic rainforest of the Brazilian south-east, like its congeners there. No habitat account is available and the growth form is the genus pattern.

Unknown; the representative site is at about 580 m in the coastal hills.
