Philodendron appunii

A Venezuelan Philodendron described by Bunting in 1986. GBIF specimens come from cloud forest in the Coastal Cordillera of Aragua, in Henri Pittier National Park and along the Colonia Tovar–El Limón road. Grow it as a cool-to-warm montane plant, not as the hot lowland species the measured site suggests.

Where it grows wild

A plant of Coastal Cordillera cloud forest ('bosque nublado' on one label) in northern Venezuela. The growth habit is not described in the sources consulted; a climbing hemiepiphyte is assumed.

One labelled specimen is at 850 m on the Maracay–Choroní road. The Colonia Tovar–El Limón collections are probably higher, around 1000–1500 m, although their elevation is not recorded.
