Gongora odoratissima Lem. 1847 SECTION Eugongora SUBSECTION Gongora Photos courtesy of Danny Lentz, plant grown by the Atlanta Botanical Garden
Common Name The Highly Scented Gongora
Flower Size
Found in Venezuela and Tolima, Colombia as a medium sized, hot growing epiphyte. Often cited as a syn of G quinquenervis, I feel that it sufficiently different to be a separate entity.
