Description

Porroglossum dalstroemii

Name: Porroglossum dalstroemii Luer & Hirtz

Synonyms: Specklinia caldensis (Hoehne & Schltr.) Luer

Etymology: The genus name Porroglossum refers to the characteristic tongue-shaped lip. The epithet dalstroemii honors Stig Dalström, a Swedish botanist, illustrator, and orchid specialist.

First description: The species was described in 1987 by Carlyle A. Luer and Walter Hirtz.

Origin / Habitat: Ecuador, Morona-Santiago Province, in moss-covered cloud forests at approximately 1,700–1,800 m. It grows epiphytically on thin, moss-covered branches.

Description & Care: Small, compactly growing Porroglossum with slender stems and approximately 1 cm flowers that appear sequentially. 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 12–20 °C.
