Angraecum conchoglossum

A small epiphytic Angraecum from the humid forests of central and eastern Madagascar (and listed for Réunion), described by Schlechter in 1918. It grows in shaded, constantly moist, mid-elevation forest and wants intermediate temperatures, high humidity and a cooler winter.

Where it grows wild

Branches and trunks in humid evergreen forest, mainly at mid elevation, in shade to dappled light; this is inferred from the records and the habits of similar small Angraecum.

Recorded at 3–1517 m, median 1057 m (125 records).
