Angraecum scalariforme

A small, little-documented Malagasy Angraecum known from very few wild records; the single measured site is in humid mid-elevation forest of northern Madagascar. Grow it like other small intermediate-temperature Angraecum epiphytes: bright shade, constant humidity, and a slightly cooler, less wet winter.
