Dracula adrianae

A little-documented Colombian Dracula described by Luer in 1998. Nothing reliable is recorded about its exact locality, so its care follows the genus: cool, shady, saturated cloud forest air and an open basket for the pendent flowers.

Where it grows wild

No georeferenced wild records exist. Like the rest of the genus it is presumably an epiphyte low on mossy trunks in wet Andean cloud forest.

Not recorded; most Colombian draculas grow at roughly 1500-2500 m.
