Lycaste bermudezii

A little-known Guatemalan Lycaste, described by Archila and recombined into Lycaste by J.M.H. Shaw in 2014. Almost nothing is published on its ecology, so treat it like other Central American Lycaste: bright shade, cool-intermediate temperatures, and a drier, cooler rest after the pseudobulbs mature.
