Ellis' aerangis (Aerangis ellisii)
Description
It is a small plant of size that prefers hot to fresh climate, epiphytic, with elongated roots and fleshy and slightly bright stem, green and blooming in an axillary inflorescence in cluster of 60 cm long with 13 to 24 flowers of 6 cm wide, very fragrant with the smell of nutmeg. It has been suggested that the grandiflora variety is only what happens when a plant is well cultivated and so are the flowers, greater than in nature.
