Phragmipedium cabrejosii

A recently described slipper orchid from central Peru, known from a single record in the Andean foothills of Junín at about 1,800 m. Like other Phragmipedium it most likely grows on wet rocks and banks near water, so it wants clean, constantly moist roots, bright filtered light and intermediate temperatures.
