Anoectochilus baotingensis

Anoectochilus baotingensis is a jewel orchid named for Baoting in Hainan, growing on the shady floor of humid broadleaf forest. Like its relatives it is grown for its velvety, veined leaves and needs deep shade, constant high humidity and a moist, airy medium. Little is published beyond its description, so this profile is built from the genus and the regional climate.
