Lycaste annakamilae

A Guatemalan Lycaste described in 2015, known only from its original description and with no wild records on GBIF. Grow it like other Central American Lycaste: bright shade, intermediate temperatures, generous water and feeding while the pseudobulbs grow, then a drier, cooler winter rest.

Where it grows wild

Not documented beyond Guatemala; Lycaste there grow on mossy trees, rocks and banks in seasonally dry to humid montane forest.

No recorded elevations; the climate point used is lowland (about 350 m) and probably too warm for a Lycaste.
