Sacoila lanceolata (Aubl.) Garay 1982, for many year this plant eluded me, I found it at a roadside. I expected the flowers to be red, but the flowers I found were orange
Sacoila lanceolata is a terrestrial orchid that is widespread in the Antilles and tropical America. In the photos I have seen of the species, the flowers are bright red. But the population I saw in the west of the island of Puerto Rico, is pale orange. Apparently there are also yellow ones, but I have not seen them only heard about them.
There are even brown ones.
