Rhaphidophora sonlaensis

A recently described climbing aroid (Nguyen and Boyce, 2017) from Vietnam, named after Son La province in the northwest. There are no wild GBIF records, and the proxy climate point lies in central Vietnam rather than Son La. Expect a monsoon-forest climber with a cool, dry winter.
