Description

Stelis grandibracteata

Name: Stelis grandibracteata C.Schweinf.

Etymology: The genus name Stelis comes from Greek; grandibracteata means “with large bracts” and refers to the conspicuous bracts.

First description: In 1942 by Charles Schweinfurth.

Origin/Distribution: The species is known from Ecuador and Peru.

Location/Habitat: We grow Stelis grandibracteata in cool to cool-intermediate conditions at around 11–21 °C, with high humidity, shaded to bright filtered light, and good air circulation. We keep the fine, airy substrate evenly slightly moist.

Description and Notes: The species produces compact growths and upright, densely flowered inflorescences. The especially distinctive feature is the conspicuous bracts in proportion to the small flowers. It is well suited to cool display cases and temperate greenhouses.
