Angraecum firthii

A rarely seen East and Central African Angraecum described by Summerhayes in 1958, known from Cameroon and the Central African Republic east to Uganda and Kenya. Almost nothing is published on its ecology, so this profile is built from the regional climate and from what suits epiphytic African angraecoids of warm, seasonally wet forest.
