Angraecum patens

A small epiphytic Angraecum endemic to Réunion, known from only a handful of records. Treat it as a warm-intermediate, humid-forest Angraecum: shaded light, constant moisture at the roots and a slightly cooler, drier winter.

Where it grows wild

Epiphytic in humid native forest on Réunion. No species-specific habitat notes were found; this is inferred from the island's mid-elevation forest Angraecum.

The two climate sites lie at about 550 to 610 m; the true elevation range is unknown.
