Philodendron fibraecataphyllum

A Philodendron of the very wet Chocó lowlands of western Colombia and north-western Ecuador, recorded from near sea level to about 200 m. The name refers to its fibrous cataphylls. We found no habit description, so the advice assumes a hemiepiphyte like most Chocó Philodendron and follows the measured climate: hot, rainy and humid all year.
