Where it grows wild

Known from foothill forest on the eastern Andean slope in central Peru. Habit is inferred from the genus: Syngonium are hemiepiphytic climbers that creep on the forest floor as juveniles and climb trunks by aerial roots.

The measured site is at about 1200 m; few records carry an elevation.
