Angraecum viguieri

A Malagasy epiphytic Angraecum recorded almost entirely from the humid mid-elevation rainforest of the central-eastern escarpment, around 1,000–1,100 m. Grow it intermediate to cool with constant high humidity, dappled light and a slightly cooler, somewhat drier winter, as in the wild.

Where it grows wild

An epiphyte of humid evergreen montane rainforest on Madagascar's eastern escarpment; nearly all records cluster around one well-surveyed forest block near 1,070 m. Microhabitat detail is not published, so this follows the genus in this forest type: trunks and branches in dappled light under the canopy.

Recorded 7–1,368 m, median 1,068 m; the bulk of records are mid-elevation rainforest, the sea-level record is an outlier.
