Syngonium dodsonianum

A rarely recorded Syngonium endemic to the lowlands of western Ecuador, known from only a handful of records in Los Ríos at about 185–200 m. Like other Syngonium it is almost certainly a climbing hemiepiphyte that starts on the ground and climbs trees. Grow it warm and humid with a moss pole.
