Aristolochia schlechteri is a climbing liana (woody vine) native to Papua New Guinea, where it is rarely recorded and mainly found in the Northern Province. It is a wild tropical species with little horticultural history, so cultivation details are uncertain.
Aristolochia schlechteri, synonym Pararistolochia schlechteri, is a liana endemic to Papua New Guinea. It was first described by Carl Lauterbach in 1905. Although its distribution is supposedly restricted to the Northern Province, there have been two rare accounts of occurrences in the Madang and East Sepik Provinces.
