Cyrtochilum Amphiglottii

Amphiglottis orchid, scientifically known as Cyrtochilum amphiglottii, is a rare and exquisite species native to the cloud forests of Central America. This delicate orchid is characterized by its unique leaf structure, which features a narrow, tongue-like appendage at the base, giving it its distinctive name. It thrives in humid, shaded environments and is often found growing on tree trunks or rocky outcrops. Due to its limited habitat and susceptibility to deforestation, the Amphiglottis orchid is considered an endangered species. Conservation efforts are crucial to preserving this rare botanical wonder for future generations.
