Description

Lepanthes dalessandroi

Name: Lepanthes dalessandroi Luer

Etymology: The genus name Lepanthes combines Greek words for “scale” and “flower”; the specific epithet dalessandroi honors orchid collector Dennis D’Alessandro.

Origin/Distribution: Ecuador and Peru.

Location/Habitat: Epiphytic miniature orchid of humid montane and cloud forests. Grow in shade to partial shade, with very high humidity and gentle air movement. Keep fine sphagnum moss or a very fine, airy substrate evenly moist. Intermediate to rather cool temperatures of about 14–23 °C.

Description and Notes: Lepanthes dalessandroi is one of the comparatively large-flowered species in the genus. Its intricate flowers may appear near the leaf, sequentially or simultaneously, and display yellowish, ochre to pink hues. Never allow the fine roots to dry out completely.
