The "Candystripe Vanda" grows on scrub trees in grassy valleys in the mountains of Sulawesi. When found in July 2004 it was thought to be the "lost" species Vanda arcuata J. J. Smith which was described in 1907, but now it has been recognized as a new species Vanda jennae O'Byrne & Vermeulen - this plant is the type specimen. See the Malayan Orchid Review, the article "Vanda arcuata and it's relatives" in which the 3 species in the V. arcuata group are discussed, and the formal description of Vanda jennae O'Byrne & Vermeulen is made. The full reference is: MOR 39: 85-89, 91 (2005). In addition to the large candy-striped flowers, it has a mobile lip and a smell similar to hyacinths. Very large plant. |
| Donor's culture notes: |
Temperature range I (60-83°F). The climate where this plant grows is fairly typical for mountain valleys in Sulawesi; heavy rain during the monsoon, which normally starts in October/November and ends in March or April, and mostly dry for the rest of the year, with light rain once or twice a week and heavy mists on most mornings. Temperatures during the dry season: the early-morning low is usually about 17°C, rarely as low as 15°C, and the mid-afternoon maximum is usually around 25°C, rarely reaching 30°C. Temperatures during the monsoon would be several degrees cooler. Humidity is high in early morning but drops rapidly during the day. Light levels are high and the plants receive only light shade. The valleys are quite windy, with the tree branches in constant motion. |
