Angraecum panicifolium

A Malagasy Angraecum described by Perrier in 1938, recorded mostly from mid-elevation humid forest on the eastern escarpment around Andasibe. Treat it as an intermediate-temperature epiphyte that wants constant moisture, buoyant air and a cooler, slightly drier winter.

Where it grows wild

Humid evergreen forest of eastern Madagascar; most records cluster near 900–1,200 m around Andasibe-Mantadia. Growth habit is inferred from the genus as a shaded to dappled epiphyte on trunks and branches.

Median recorded elevation 1,069 m; most records 800–1,300 m. The 5,463 m maximum is impossible for Madagascar and is a data error.
