Philodendron nangaritense

Philodendron nangaritense is a name attributed to Thomas Croat that GBIF marks as doubtful, most likely a manuscript name. It is known from the Río Nangaritza valley in the Cordillera del Cóndor region of Zamora-Chinchipe, south-eastern Ecuador, at 870–1135 m, including rocky banks of a stream with a waterfall. It is a warm, humid premontane plant that likes bright, moist streamside conditions.

Where it grows wild

Rocky banks of a flat-bottomed stream with a waterfall along the Río Nangaritza, and nearby forest slopes. The streamside records suggest it grows on rocks or rocky soil, but the collection notes give no habit.

867–1135 m, in premontane forest of the Cordillera del Cóndor foothills.
