Arc Mountains Disperis Orchid (Disperis egregia)
The Arc Mountains Disperis Orchid was described in 1952, it is, or maybe was, an endemic species of the Eastern Arc Mountains, a mountain range that stretches from Kenya to Tanzania.
The very small species grew terrestrial on mossy rock-faces in dense rainforests at elevations of 900 to about 1050 m. The flowers were pink and appeared on two- to three-flowered inflorescences.
The name of this species appears in listings of extinct and possibly extinct species and is thus mentioned here as well.
