Description

Acianthera strupifolia

Name: Acianthera strupifolia (Lindl.) Pridgeon & M.W.Chase

Synonyms: Pleurothallis strupifolia Lindl.; Humboltia strupifolia (Lindl.) Kuntze

Etymology: The genus name Acianthera refers to the pointed structure of the anther; the specific epithet strupifolia refers to the special shape or texture of the leaves.

First described: 1839 by John Lindley as Pleurothallis strupifolia.

Origin/Distribution: Southeastern and southern Brazil.

Habitat/Environment: Epiphytic in tropical forests with seasonal fluctuations in moisture. We recommend intermediate conditions of approximately 15–25 °C, bright filtered light, high humidity, and good air circulation.

Description and notes: The small-growing Pleurothallidinae produces densely packed leaves and has a slightly pendulous habit. Small flowers frequently appear in autumn and winter. Mount with little moss or cultivate in a fine, airy medium. Keep evenly slightly moist and allow the surface to dry out slightly between waterings; a complete dry rest is not necessary.
