Name: Dracula incognita Luer & R.Escobar

Etymology: The genus name Dracula means “little dragon” and alludes to the unusual flower shape of many species. The Latin specific epithet incognita means “unknown” or “unrecognized”.

Origin/Distribution: Colombia.

Location/Habitat: Epiphytic cloud forest orchid. In cultivation, it requires cool to intermediate conditions of approximately 12–22 °C, high humidity, constant gentle air movement, and shaded to moderately bright light.

Description and Notes: Dracula incognita produces pale flowers with contrasting darker tips on the elongated sepals. The inflorescences grow predominantly upright. We recommend an airy basket and a fine, structurally stable medium with a sphagnum moss component. Keep evenly moist, use only soft water, and avoid both complete drying out and waterlogging.
