Philodendron chimboanum

A poorly known Philodendron endemic to Ecuador, reported from both moist lowland and moist montane forest and listed as Data Deficient. There is a single GBIF record, in the Amazonian lowlands, so the conditions here are warm and humid, from that site's climate and the genus.

Where it grows wild

Moist lowland and montane forest in Ecuador. The growth habit is not documented in the sources reached; a hemiepiphytic climbing habit, typical of the genus, is assumed.

The single record is near 230 m in the Amazonian lowlands; its reported montane forest habitat implies it also grows higher.
