Anoectochilus nandanensis

A jewel orchid from southern China, apparently named for Nandan in Guangxi and known from very little material; there are no wild GBIF records. Treat it like related Chinese jewel orchids: a shade-loving creeper of humid forest floors that wants cool, damp, still-but-fresh air.

Where it grows wild

Not documented beyond the description; Anoectochilus species grow as creeping terrestrials in deep, humid shade on mossy forest floors and rocks, often in limestone valleys in Guangxi.

Unknown; Chinese Anoectochilus typically grow from about 300 to 1,500 m.
