Goodyera beccarii

A Sumatran jewel orchid known from very little material, with no wild GBIF records. Grow it as for other tropical Goodyera: a shaded, humid terrarium floor with steady warmth and a moist, airy leaf-litter mix.

Where it grows wild

Inferred from the genus: terrestrial on the shaded floor of humid forest, in leaf litter and moss.

No elevation records; the placeholder site is lowland (about 80 m), but many Sumatran Goodyera grow in hill and montane forest.
