Description

Collected on short trees. An extremely rare species, very seldom offered when it first appeared online, it was sold for 700 euros! Species from Sumatra are prized as they are under heavy pressure from farming especially oil palm plantations. Many species exist only in certain mountains, notably A. bulowi from Mount Singalah and this species, from Mount Singalang. This species will never be commonly available, thus the price tag.
