Marcgravia grandifolia

An Ecuadorian Marcgravia described by Sleumer in 1938 and known only from a few herbarium specimens without usable localities. Like other Marcgravia, it is presumably a root-climbing hemiepiphyte whose juvenile leaves press flat against trunks. Its care here is inferred entirely from the genus and the Ecuadorian forest climate.
