Where it grows wild

Recorded from lowland forest near 80 m in north-western Ecuador (Esmeraldas). Its growth habit was not available in the sources reached; it is treated here as a hemiepiphytic climber, as most local philodendrons are.

The only elevation available is about 80 m, at the climate site.
