Angraecum oliveirae

A recently described angraecoid orchid (Stévart & Jecmenica, 2017) endemic to the Gulf of Guinea islands, known from very little material. Treat it like other warm-growing epiphytic Angraecum of humid island forest: warm, evenly humid, bright shade and no hard dry rest.

Where it grows wild

Almost nothing is published on its habitat; like most Gulf of Guinea Angraecum it is presumably an epiphyte of humid evergreen forest. This is inferred from the genus, not observed.

Unknown. No dated, located wild records exist; the only climate site is a placeholder at sea level, while the islands' forests run to well over 1,000 m.
