Angraecum chaetopodum

A Madagascan Angraecum known from a handful of lowland and low-montane forest sites, from the humid north-east to the drier west. Like most of its genus it is an epiphyte that wants warm, humid conditions, bright shade and a somewhat drier winter. These conditions are estimated from the site climate and the genus.

Records lie at 200–1350 m, most below 400 m.
