Encyclia viridiflora

A little-known Encyclia from southeastern Brazil, presumably bearing greenish flowers as its name suggests. With no wild records, this profile follows the genus and the regional climate: a bright, airy epiphyte with plump pseudobulbs that grows in the warm wet summer and rests through a drier, cooler winter.

Where it grows wild

Likely an epiphyte on trees in semi-deciduous or seasonal Atlantic forest, or on rocks in open scrub, as most Brazilian Encyclia are. No habitat records were available.

No recorded elevations; the single climate site is a regional point at about 580 m.
