	Easy Orchids - Angraecum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Angraecum are warm growing and exotic orchids from Eastern Africa and the island of Madagascar.
		Virtually all the Angraecum flowers have a large spur at the base of the lip, this contains nectar to entice pollinating moths and other insects to the flower.When growing on the Island of Madagascar these orchids would be found in the deepest jungle growing along side and co inhabiting the lush forests with Mantella frogs.
		Angraecum are epiphytic orchids and grow high up in trees where they receive plenty of light, they should be given the maximum light available which should be diffused to prevent scorching of the leaves which are the food store for the plant.

	Genus Angraecum - Angraecum Encyclopedia
		In the case of Angraecum sesquipedale, a species from Madagascar, on observing the 30cm spur in the lip, Charles Darwin theorised that, since the nectar was at the bottom of the spur, a pollinator must exist with a tongue at least that long.
		Habitat: This is difficult to generalize, as the plants range from dwarf to quite large, and from upright, as in A. sesquipedale and Angraecum compactum, to trailing, as in Angraecum scottianum.
		Angraecum leonis is one of the most satisfying orchid houseplants -- it's small-growing, fairly easy on a low- to medium-light windowsill, and is splendidly fragrant.
