Philodendron carajasense

A Philodendron described in 2013 from the Serra dos Carajás in Pará, Brazil. Specimen labels mostly describe it growing on rocks (rupicolous) along streams and drainage lines inside dense rain forest, sometimes scrambling or epiphytic. The region has a hot, severe dry season, but its stream-side rocks stay moist.

Where it grows wild

Specimen labels record it as rupicolous on rocks along streams, waterfalls and colluvial drainages in dense ombrophilous forest. It is sometimes a scandent herb or liana by streams, and occasionally an epiphyte.

GBIF sites are at about 165–670 m on the Carajás plateau and Serra da Bocaina.
