Angraecum inapertum

A small Angraecum described by Thouars in 1809 from Madagascar and Mascarene islands, with one wild record from the Malagasy highlands near 1,290 m. Little is known of its ecology; the measured climate points to an intermediate-to-cool grower with a wet summer and a cool, dry winter.

Where it grows wild

Highland forest of Madagascar; the habit and microhabitat are not documented in the sources reached, so an epiphyte in moist forest is assumed from the genus.

The single record lies near 1,286 m; the climate grid cell sits at 1,533 m.
