Etymology:
ruckeri = Sigismund RUCKER, an English orchid enthusiast (c. 1809–1875). He had a large orchid collection at West Hill, his home in Wandsworth. Rucker cultivated orchids for over 40 years and, from 1844 onward, also had a collection of trees, shrubs, heathers, and azaleas.

Trade name: Tulip orchid
Origin: Colombia, Venezuela
Habitat:
terrestrial at elevations of 900–2000 m

Notes:
Anguloa ruckeri produces a few large, terminal, pleasantly scented solitary flowers per pseudobulb. They have a waxy texture and are long-lasting. This species is a natural hybrid between Anguloa clowesii and Anguloa hohenlohii.
