Marcgravia patellulifera

Marcgravia patellulifera was described by de Roon in 1970 from Venezuelan Amazonas, where the two wild records sit in the lowland Río Negro and Casiquiare forests at about 140 m. It is an everwet, hot lowland climber: constant warmth, humidity above 90 percent and heavy rain in every month.
