This orchid (Phragmipedium lindleyanum) is one of several rare and beautiful orchid species found in
Grensgebergte Mountains. Many rare species occur on these distinctive
granite outcroppings in Suriname. Species such as this that occur on
mountaintops are highly vulnerable to climate change, since they are
unable to migrate upslope in response to warming temperatures
