It is found in Assam, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, the east and west Himalayas, the Andaman Islands, Burma, Tailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam in the dry tropical regions of the lowlands and the subtropical forests at altitudes from sea level to 1100 meters above sea level.
Description
It is a small to medium-sized plant that prefers a hot climate to cool climates and flourishes in May, June or July. It is an epiphyte with a great aroma that has a stem with many curved ligulate leaves with a bi-lobed apex in a hanging influorescence 30 cm long with up to 50 waxy fragrant flowers about 1.85 to 2.5 cm wide.[2]
Cultivation
The plants are best grown in hanging baskets. They must have full sun and cool to warm temperatures. If they are hanging, their roots must be watered frequently. The plants need to be cultivated in well-drained medias, such as tree fern fiber (for small plants), several pieces of thick fir bark, or tree moss.
Synonymy and confusion
In 1820, William Roxburgh published a description of Aerides multiflora. [3] In 1882, João Barbosa Rodrigues published a description of a very different plant under the name of Epidendrum geniculatum.[4] Eight years later, in 1890, Joseph Dalton Hooker published a description of an orchid now recognized as Aerides multifloraRoxb. and named it Epidendrum geniculatum.[5] Thus, Epidendrum geniculatumBarb.Rodr. is a very different taxon from Epidendrum geniculatumHook.f., a synonym for Aerides multifloraRoxb. , the subject of this article.
Taxonomy
Aerides multiflorum was described by William Roxburgh and published in Plants of the Coast of Coromandel 3: 68. 1820.[6]
Etymology
Aerides (abreviated Aer.): genus name that comes from the Greek words: "aer" = "air" y "eides" = "resembling", aluding to the habit of epiphytes like these plants that apparently feed off nothing, only what the atmosphere can offer them.
multiflorum: Latin epithet that means "with many flowers".
