A phytotelm is a plant that holds water. This site is devoted to compiling information on all known species of frogs that breed in these unique aquatic habitats (272 at present count). I have arranged this page by families (following the taxonomy of AmphibiaWeb), please click the links to the left to explore the data available. Investigators that have new data or know of publications that I have missed are encouraged to contact me to keep the site up to date. Thanks and enjoy!
