Grouped as an epiphyte, listed under the genus Dischidia in the archetype table, and Kew describes it as “climbing epiphyte”.
How this section is made
Each card states this species' habitat figures with their sources, and what two fixed rules read from them; nothing here says what the plant does, wants or tolerates. The rules · the terms.
Group. Listed under the genus Dischidia in the archetype table, and Kew describes it as “climbing epiphyte”. A group is taken only where Kew's description of the species agrees with the table's listing. The table gives no figure and no prose; the cold floor is the habitat's alone.
