Disa andringitrana

Disa andringitrana is a tuberous terrestrial orchid endemic to central and southern Madagascar, where it grows as a perennial from an underground tuber. It is a wild species rarely grown in cultivation, so its care needs are inferred from related Disa species and its Madagascan montane habitat.
