Angraecum rhizomaniacum

A small Madagascan Angraecum described by Schlechter in 1925, named for its long creeping rhizome. The two records come from the high mountains of the north at 1,600–2,000 m, so it needs cool, constantly humid montane conditions.

Where it grows wild

Probably an epiphyte in mossy montane forest, creeping along branches; this is inferred from its name, the elevations and related species.

The two records are at about 1,600 m and 2,000 m in northern Madagascar's mountains.
