Philodendron distantilobum

A southwestern Amazonian Philodendron described by Krause in 1913, with 163 wild records in Brazil, Bolivia and Peru below 650 m. The sites are hot and humid for most of the year, with a clear dry season from June to September. Its habit was not in the sources we reached, so the growing notes lean on the genus.
