Pleurothallis adelphe

An obscure Ecuadorian Pleurothallis with no usable wild records, so its exact habitat is unknown. Treat it like other Andean pleurothallids: shade, constant moisture, high humidity with airflow, and intermediate temperatures with a night drop.

Where it grows wild

Presumed epiphyte of humid montane forest, as for most Ecuadorian Pleurothallis; no species-level habitat information was found.

Unknown; the single climate point is a regional centroid at about 1200 m on the eastern Andean slope.
