Lepanthes calodictyon: A Stunning Orchid Species from Colombia and Ecuador This exquisite handcoloured lithograph showcases the captivating beauty of Lepanthes calodictyon, an enchanting orchid species native to the Andes mountains in Colombia and Ecuador. The intricate details of this orchid's delicate petals and sepals are masterfully captured in this 19th-century print from the renowned horticulturists Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires. The Lepanthes calodictyon, also known as Calodictyon, is a small epiphytic orchid with a distinctive appearance. Its petals and sepals are arranged in a unique, fan-like fashion, creating an elegant and alluring display. The flowers come in various shades of pink, purple, and white, with a distinctive yellow lip. This beautiful orchid was first discovered in the Andes mountains of South America by French botanist Hippolyte François Jaume Saint-Hilaire in 1818. It was later described and named by Swiss botanist Carl Sigismund Kunth in 1816. The Lepanthes calodictyon was a popular orchid among collectors and horticulturists of the time, and was widely cultivated in European greenhouses and conservatories. This stunning handcoloured lithograph, produced by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires in Ghent, Belgium in 1874, is a testament to the enduring fascination with these exotic and beautiful plants. The intricate details of the Lepanthes calodictyon's petals and sepals are beautifully rendered in this handcoloured lithograph, providing a glimpse into the rich botanical heritage of the past. Today, this orchid remains a beloved and sought-after species among orchid enthusiasts and collectors around the world.
