Pleurothallis canidentis

Pleurothallis canidentis is a Colombian pleurothallid described by Luer and Escobar in 1998, known from a handful of records in the Andes around Medellín, Antioquia. Treat it as a cool-growing cloud-forest epiphyte: shade, cool nights, constant moisture and moving air.

Where it grows wild

Presumed epiphyte of humid montane cloud forest in the Central Cordillera of Antioquia, as for most Andean Pleurothallis; no species-specific habitat notes were found.

Records carry no elevation; the climate was modelled at about 2,800 m, a cool cloud-forest level typical for the genus in Antioquia.
