Goodyera hispaniolae

A small terrestrial jewel orchid endemic to Hispaniola, known from very few collections and almost absent from cultivation. Treat it like other Caribbean montane Goodyera: a shaded, humid forest-floor rosette that wants cool-to-warm, evenly moist conditions and gentle air movement.

Where it grows wild

Little is published for this species; Caribbean Goodyera grow as creeping rosettes in leaf litter and moss on the floor of humid broadleaf and pine-broadleaf montane forest.

No recorded elevations; the two climate sites (277 and 717 m) are placed from the country areas, and Hispaniolan Goodyera are generally found higher, in montane forest.
