Acianthera asaroides (Acianthera asaroides)

Description

Acianthera asaroides is a species of orchid (Orchidaceae) originating in Santa Catarina , Brazil . By the analysis of the type, apparently the species described as A. asaroides is just another synonym of Acianthera bragae . In doubt we follow the information of Kew and comes here as an accepted species. The species of photography on the side may both be A. asaroides if in fact it is an accepted species, as a new species not described in the State of São Paulo , where Itaqueri da Serra lives600 meters above sea level. The flowers are twice the size of the other.
