Angraecum inflatum

A small epiphytic Angraecum from the humid forests of Madagascar's central highlands. With no georeferenced wild records, its conditions here are taken from a highland site and the needs of related upland Angraecum: intermediate temperatures, high humidity and a cooler, drier winter.

Where it grows wild

Thought to grow as an epiphyte on mossy trunks and branches in humid montane forest of the central plateau, like many small Angraecum. Species-specific habitat detail is thin.

The climate site is at about 1,350 m; small highland Angraecum usually grow at roughly 1,000–2,000 m.
