Marcgravia peduncularis

Marcgravia peduncularis is a doubtful name: the GBIF backbone treats Marcgravia peduncularis Poepp. ex Rusby as a synonym of Souroubea crassipes, a Bolivian marcgraviad, and there are no wild records or measured climate under this name. Anyone holding a plant under this label should check it against Souroubea; the guidance below is generic for a Marcgravia of the Bolivian Andean foothills and should be treated as a starting point only.

Where it grows wild

Presumed a root-climbing hemiepiphyte of humid foothill and lower montane forest on the eastern Andean slope, as for the genus and for Souroubea crassipes.

No elevation or locality data; Rusby's Bolivian material came mostly from the Yungas foothills of La Paz, roughly 500 to 1500 m.
