Angraecum rigidifolium

A little-known Malagasy Angraecum described by Perrier in 1938, with stiff leaves as its name suggests. The single located record is from the humid central highlands near 1,300 m, so treat it as a cool-to-intermediate, high-humidity orchid.

Where it grows wild

Single record at about 1,300 m.
