Marcgravia urophylla

Marcgravia urophylla K.Schum. is an accepted but essentially unrecorded name: GBIF carries no wild occurrences and no distribution entries, so nothing specific is known about where it grows. What follows is a genus-level profile for a neotropical shingling root-climber of wet forest, and should be treated as a starting point only.
