Goodyera cyclopensis

A terrestrial jewel-orchid relative known only from very few collections in the Cyclops Mountains (Pegunungan Cycloop) near Jayapura, New Guinea. Almost nothing is published on its ecology, so its care is inferred from the genus: shady, humid, warm forest floor with leaf litter.

Where it grows wild

It is presumed to grow on the floor of humid lowland to lower montane rainforest, in leaf litter on shaded slopes. The details are inferred from the genus.

The single measured site is about 164 m; the Cyclops range rises to about 2,100 m, so higher, cooler sites are possible.
