Restrepia echo

A rarely recorded Colombian Restrepia, known from a few records in the Chocó region near the Pacific coast. Like its relatives it is a small epiphyte of very wet forest, needing constant moisture, high humidity and low light; it is probably more tolerant of warmth than the cool Andean species.

Where it grows wild

A small clustered epiphyte on mossy branches in very wet Pacific-slope forest; details for this species are thin.

The records give no elevations; the single climate site sits at about 100 m, but the plants may come from the higher slopes of the nearby Serranía del Baudó.
