Orchid Species: Adenoncos virens
(This name is currently accepted by Kew.)
Adenoncos virens is an orchid species identified by Blume in 1825.
ORIGIN: Found in Malaysia, Java, Borneo and Sumatra in mangroves, lowland and hill forests at elevations of 350 to 1220 meters high up in trees.
DESCRIPTION: Miniature sized, hot to cool growing epiphyte with a basally branching stem enveloped completely by leaf bearing sheaths and carrying almost terete, close set, alternate, acute, wrinkled leaves that blooms in the winter on an axillary, single flowered short inflorescence. This plant grows shorter in full sun than when in part shade so locate accordingly.
FLOWER SIZE: 0.1 inches [2.5 mm]
