Description

Lepanthes tamaensis

Name: Lepanthes tamaensis Foldats

Etymology: The genus name Lepanthes is derived from the Greek lepis ("scale") and anthos ("flower"). The epithet tamaensis refers to Tama in Venezuela, near the Colombian border.

First description: The species was described by Ernesto Foldats in 1968.

Origin / Habitat: Colombia to northwestern Venezuela, in humid mountain and cloud forests of the Andes. It grows epiphytically and has been found at approximately 2300–2800 m.

Description & Notes: Small, cool-growing Lepanthes with slender, upright shoots, a single leathery leaf, and several small, successive flowers. In our care, we cultivate them in shady to bright indirect light, with high humidity and good air circulation. We keep the substrate consistently moist. We keep them cool to cold.
