Marcgravia trinitatis

A widely but thinly recorded lowland shingle vine spanning the Windward Islands, Trinidad and northern and west-central Brazil, described by Presl from Trinidad. The Brazilian records dominate the measured climate and bring a strong dry season; the Caribbean plants live in wetter forest, so the profile aims for evenly wet rainforest conditions with a tolerated drier spell.
