Aerangis jacksonii

A small epiphytic Aerangis endemic to Uganda, with a few leathery leaves and sprays of white, spurred flowers that are fragrant at night. Records are few and come from mid-elevation forest in western Uganda, where it is warm by day and mild at night all year. Care follows other East African Aerangis.

Epiphyte on twigs and branches in mid-elevation forest and woodland, probably in fairly humid, shaded positions. This is inferred from the genus.

The single measured site lies at about 1500 m.
