Any guesses on a species
name will be highly appreciated.
I found this interesting plant
in the northern India, growing as an epiphyte. I found it on several
locations, but never in flower. The caudex seems to grow to six
centimetres in diameter with a length of 20 centimetres. The
branches
seems to reach 70 centimetres.
The genera name from 'agapétos'
meaning 'lovely', referring to the flower.
Ideas: Agapetes incurvata,
Hermann Otto Sleumer 1940 (= Gaylussacia incurvata William
Griffith, 1854). |
