Marcgravia subcaudata

A little-known Amazonian shingle vine from eastern Ecuador and northern Brazil, with only two wild records. Everything below is built from the genus, the single recorded site's lowland rainforest climate and Marcgravia's habit; treat it as a warm, wet, shade-loving trunk-climber.

Where it grows wild

Lowland Amazonian rainforest, presumably climbing tree trunks in shade like its relatives; 2 wild records from Ecuador and none with elevation.

No elevation on the records; the Ecuadorian site's climate is that of the Amazon lowlands below about 500 m.
