Rhaphidophora todayensis

A Mindanao Rhaphidophora described by Krause in 1911 from Elmer's collections at Todaya, on the lower slopes of Mt Apo. Almost all records come from that one area, and one is labelled 810 m. Grow it as an intermediate climber, warm by day with cooler nights.

Where it grows wild

No habitat account reached us. Todaya lies in forest on Mt Apo's lower slopes; we assume a root climber of humid submontane forest.

One record is labelled 810 m; the measured sites were mapped at 2300–2870 m, which is probably wrong.
