Scuticaria dodgsonii is an orchid species identified by Rchb.f. in 1881. Culture information and photos for this orchid are commonly detailed under the currently accepted name of Scuticaria hadwenii.
ORIGIN: This medium sized, pendant growing, epiphytic species is found in Brazil and Guyana.
DESCRIPTION: This medium sized, pendant growing, epiphytic species is found in Brazil and Guyana with very short, knotty, swollen at the base, ash brown stems carrying cylindric, narrowly sulcate above, acute, deep green, deflexed leaves and even though the habit of the plant is pendulous, the erect, 1 1/2 to 8 [4 to 20 cm] long, single flowered inflorescence, arising on a mature pseudobulb and subtended with brown, acute, scale-like bracts, is ascending and appears from spring to fall and gives rise to waxy, fragrant long-lasting, nodding flowers. This species needs a tree fern or wood mount to accomodate the pendant growths, with bright sun, and regular waterings until after blooming which then it needs a 3-4 week rest.
FLOWER SIZE: To 3 inches [to 7.5 cm]
