Aerangis citrata

Aerangis citrata belongs to the genus Aerangis within the Orchidaceae, one of the largest families of flowering plants. This species is endemic to Madagascar, a biodiversity hotspot known for its unique flora. The species was formally published in 1914 by Richard Schlechter, who recognized and classified it based on the original material described by Thouars. As an epiphytic orchid, it likely grows on trees in its natural habitat, reflecting the ecological adaptations typical of the Aerangis genus.
