Description

Porroglossum aureum

Name: Porroglossum aureum Luer

Etymology: The genus name Porroglossum refers to the characteristic tongue-shaped lip. The epithet aureum means “golden” and refers to the flower color.

First description: The species was described in 1980 by Carlyle A. Luer.

Origin / Habitat: Ecuador, Carchi Province, in cloud forests at approximately 1,900–2,500 m. It grows as a small epiphyte and prefers cool to cold conditions.

Description & Care: Miniature Porroglossum with leathery leaves and golden-yellow flowers measuring approximately 1 cm, on a fine, sequentially blooming inflorescence. We cultivate it in shaded to bright indirect light, with high humidity and good air circulation. We keep the substrate evenly moist and do not allow it to dry out completely. We keep it cool, at approximately 10–18 °C.
