Syngonium sparreorum

A Syngonium known only from a few collections along the Río Guapara, about 20 km northwest of El Corazón in Cotopaxi, Ecuador, at around 250 m. The collectors describe the site as seasonal ('monsoon') forest, so it likely sees a real dry season, unlike most wet-forest syngoniums. Little else is published; care is based on the genus and the measured climate.

Where it grows wild

Collected in seasonal lowland forest along the Río Guapara on the western foothills of the Andes. Like other Syngonium it is presumably a climbing hemiepiphyte that roots in the soil and climbs tree trunks; its habit is not stated on the labels.

All dated collections are from about 250 m.
