Description

Dracula sibundoyensis

Name: Dracula sibundoyensis Luer & R.Escobar

Etymology: The specific epithet sibundoyensis refers to Sibundoy in the Colombian department of Putumayo.

Original description: 1979 by Carlyle A. Luer and Rodrigo Escobar.

Origin/Distribution: Colombia and Ecuador.

Location/Habitat: Epiphytic on mossy trees in the eastern Andean cloud forests at an altitude of approximately 2,200–2,300 m. We recommend cool conditions of about 9–19 °C, very high humidity, shady light, and constant air movement.

Description and notes: With flowers up to about 20 cm long including the sepal tails, this species is one of the large-flowered Dracula. Horizontal to pendant flower stalks bear several flowers in succession. Cultivate in an open basket with fine, airy, and moisture-retaining substrate. Never let it dry out completely and avoid summer heat.
