Oeceoclades longebracteata
Oeceoclades longebracteata is a terrestrial orchid from dry deciduous forest in southwestern and south-central Madagascar, grown rarely by specialists. It needs warm conditions, a gritty well-drained mix and a distinct dry rest period.
Oeceoclades longebracteata is a species of terrestrial orchid in the genus Oeceoclades that is endemic to southwestern and south-central Madagascar. It was first described by the French botanists Jean Marie Bosser and Philippe Morat in 2001. The type specimen was collected in 1970 by Jean Marie Bosser from dry forest undergrowth near Tsaramasao, 20 km (12 mi) south of Sakaraha. The specific epithet longebracteata refers to the long bracts found along the inflorescence.
