Philodendron lynamii

Philodendron lynamii is a name attributed to Thomas Croat that GBIF marks as doubtful, most likely a manuscript name. All wild records come from a single collection in primary forest on steep slopes along the Tarapoto–Yurimaguas road in San Martín, Peru, at 530 m. Care is based on that warm foothill site and on climbing philodendrons generally.

Where it grows wild

Primary forest on steep slopes in the foothills of the eastern Andes. The collection notes give no growth habit, so a climbing hemiepiphyte is assumed.

Known from 530 m only.
