Description

Phragmipedium besseae 'Guarumales'

Name: Phragmipedium besseae 'Guarumales'

Synonyms: Paphiopedilum besseae

Etymology: The genus name Phragmipedium is derived from phragma ("partition, dividing wall") and pedion ("slipper"). The epithet besseae honors Elizabeth Locke Besse; 'Guarumales' refers to the origin of this clone.

First description: The species was described in 1981 by Calaway H. Dodson and Janet Kuhn.

Origin / Habitat: Southern Ecuador to northern Peru, approximately 1100–1500 m. Lithophytic or terrestrial in humid tropical habitats, frequently near water.

Description & Notes: Compact plant with narrow leaves and successively appearing, intensely red-colored flowers. We keep them consistently moist, with good air circulation and bright, indirect light. The substrate must not dry out completely. We cultivate them at approximately 15–27 °C.
