Scindapsus roseus

A Sumatran Scindapsus described by van Alderwerelt in 1922, known from a single GBIF record in West Sumatra; the name suggests pinkish parts. The recorded point is placed on a volcanic peak at about 2885 m, which is almost certainly a georeferencing artefact, so the measured cold climate should not be used.

Where it grows wild

Wild habitat not documented; assumed a root climber in West Sumatran hill or lower montane forest like other Scindapsus.

The single point resolves to 2885 m, far above any Scindapsus habitat; a hill-forest elevation of roughly 500–1200 m is more plausible.
