Pleurothallis atrohiata

A little-known small epiphytic pleurothallid recorded from Haiti, with essentially no published cultivation information. Haitian pleurothallids mostly live in humid montane forest, so grow it intermediate, shaded and constantly moist rather than in the lowland heat the country-level climate suggests.

Where it grows wild

Not documented in detail. By analogy with other Hispaniolan Pleurothallis, it is likely a twig or trunk epiphyte in humid, mossy montane forest.

No elevation records exist. Hispaniolan pleurothallids are mostly found at roughly 800–2,000 m in the Massif de la Hotte and Massif de la Selle.
