Macodes celebica

A jewel orchid from Sulawesi grown for its veined velvety leaves, known from very few records. Like other Macodes it is a terrestrial plant of humid, dim rainforest floors; the single record points to cool montane forest, so it likely wants mild temperatures and constant humidity.
