Cyrtostylis Oblonga Var. Rotundifolia

Oblong cyrtostylis, scientifically known as Cyrtostylis oblonga var. rotundifolia, is a rare and unique orchid species native to the tropical rainforests of New Guinea. This delicate plant is characterized by its elongated, oval-shaped leaves and striking, fragrant flowers that bloom in shades of white and pink. Despite its beauty, it is highly sought after by collectors, leading to concerns about its conservation status. Growing in shaded, humid environments, it requires specific conditions to thrive, making it a challenging plant to cultivate. Due to habitat destruction and overharvesting, its population has dwindled, prompting efforts to protect and preserve this rare botanical treasure.
