Miltonia rosina

A small, little-documented Miltonia from the Atlantic forest of southeastern Brazil. Like its relatives, grow it as an intermediate epiphyte: bright shade, steady moisture, buoyant air and a noticeable night drop.

Where it grows wild

Probably epiphytic on trunks and branches in humid Atlantic forest, like other Brazilian Miltonia. No wild records with coordinates exist, so this is inferred from the genus.

No elevation data. Brazilian Miltonia usually grow at about 500–1,200 m on the coastal and inland mountain ranges.
