Erato sodiroi is a little-studied daisy-family shrub or herb found only in the montane forests of Ecuador. Little is documented about its cultivation, so care advice is limited to general guidance for similar Andean Asteraceae.
Erato sodiroi is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is found only in Ecuador. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The specific epithet of sodiroi refers to Luis Sodiro (1836–1909), who was an Italian Jesuit priest and a field botanist who collected many plants in Ecuador.
