Philodendron devansayeanum

A Peruvian Philodendron described by Édouard André in 1895 from a plant cultivated in Europe, now known in the wild from the lowlands of San Martín. Wild data are very thin (two records), so these conditions rest on the measured climate of that site and on general lowland Philodendron care.
