Philodendron auritum

An old name, published by Lindley in 1853, for a philodendron attributed to Guatemala. There are no wild GBIF records, so its habitat and exact range are unknown and the climate below comes from one lowland point rather than any recorded site. Treat it as a warm lowland philodendron and grow it on general genus rules.
