Angraecum coriaceum

A small, leathery-leaved epiphytic Angraecum endemic to Madagascar, with almost nothing published on its ecology. Treat it as an intermediate-temperature Malagasy epiphyte: bright shade, warm humid summers, and a cooler, drier winter with sharp night drops.

Where it grows wild

Epiphytic on trees in Malagasy forest; no species-specific habitat notes were found, so this follows typical small Angraecum of the humid central and eastern forests.

No GBIF records carry coordinates; the single climate site sits in the central highlands at about 1350 m and may be a region-level placement rather than a collection point.
