Restrepia guttulata
Restrepia guttulata, commonly called the small-spotted restrepia, is a species of orchid occurring from Venezuela to Ecuador.
Restrepia guttulata grows in cold and humid cloud forest habitats at elevations of 1700 to 2800 metres above sea level. In Venezuela, R. guttulata has been recorded growing at 1200 metres in open trees in the forest near the city of El Consejo. Its adult lifespan, including germination from seed, vegetative growth, flowering, and reproduction, occurs on branches or otherwise situated in aerial habitats in the forest canopy. The production of tiny, dust-like seeds enables wind powered seed dispersal. Seeds fly away from their parent plant on the wind before coming to rest on a suitable branch to grow.
