Angraecum ambrense

Angraecum ambrense is a Madagascan orchid named for Montagne d'Ambre in the far north, a humid montane forest massif. Almost nothing is published on its ecology, so this profile treats it as a typical intermediate-temperature Angraecum epiphyte of mossy montane forest: bright filtered light, high humidity and a cooler, drier winter.
