Description

Aerangis fastuosa

Name: Aerangis fastuosa (Rchb.f.) Schltr.

Synonyms: Angraecum fastuosum Rchb.f.; Angorkis fastuosa (Rchb.f.) Kuntze; Rhaphidorhynchus fastuosus (Rchb.f.) Finet

Etymology: The genus name Aerangis is derived from the Greek aēr ("air") and angos ("vessel") and probably refers to the long floral spur. The epithet fastuosa means "magnificent" or "splendid" and refers to the striking flowers.

First description: The species was described in 1881 by Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach as Angraecum fastuosum. The combination Aerangis fastuosa was published in 1914 by Rudolf Schlechter.

Origin / Habitat: Northern and eastern Madagascar, as an epiphyte in moist tropical forests, often on branches and smaller twigs at altitudes of approximately 1000–1500 m.

Description & Care: Small, monopodial orchid with fleshy, two-lobed leaves and large white, star-shaped flowers with a long spur. We cultivate it in bright to slightly shaded conditions, with good air circulation and consistent moisture. The substrate may dry out slightly between waterings. We keep it warm to moderate, at approximately 18–28 °C.
