Marcgravia goudotiana
A Colombian Marcgravia first described by Triana and Planchon as a variety of M. rectiflora from material collected by Justin Goudot in the Andes, and raised to species rank by de Roon in 1967. There are no georeferenced wild records, so the single climate site here is a lowland piedmont stand-in that probably runs warmer than the plant's true Andean home. Grow it as a shaded root-climber at intermediate temperatures and adjust as it responds.
Where it grows wild
Presumed to be a climbing hemiepiphyte of humid Andean forest in Colombia, growing as a shingling juvenile on shaded trunks. Goudot's collections came largely from the central Andes around Tolima, which suggests a mid-elevation rather than lowland plant.
No recorded elevations; the one reference site is at 174 m but the type locality is probably well above 1000 m in the central Andes.
