Also known as Pterodiscus gayi Decne.; Rogeria brasiliensis J.Gay ex DC.; Rogeria gayi (Decne.) Baill.

Cultivation

Grouped as a bulb, tuber or caudex by the genus Pterodiscus, which is reliably one kind of plant (archetype table). The table holds no figure for this group, which spans too much for one minimum, and no habitat climate is derived yet; no cold floor is given, and no prose comes from the table.

Nothing derived: no habitat climate for this species, and the archetype table has no figure for its genus or family.

Climate across the habitat

No habitat climate can be derived: No georeferenced record inside the range.

Natural habitat

Native range as published by WCVP.
No openly licensed record to show inside the range.
