It is the type species of its genus. It is commonly referred to as the Holy Ghost orchid, dove orchid or flower of the Holy Spirit in English, and, as the flor del Espiritu Santo in Spanish. DescriptionIt has ovoid pseudobulbs up to 12 cm high, elongated, not fat and with four leaves that reach up to one meter of length and 15 cm of width, folded. Flowers emerge from the base of the bulb and produce 4 to 12 flowers with an intense marble white color and purple spots. The anther and pistil are yellow. The central part of the flower has a well-defined dove shape. Its perfume is similar to beer. It blooms between the July and October months. RangeThe epiphyte is found in Central and north-western South America; it ranges from Costa Rica to Peru.[1] HabitatIn Panama this species has been abundant in the very humid mountain forests. It is found as an epiphyte plant on the trunks of trees covered with moss at elevation of about 1,100 m. In its natural habitat, this orchid grows near the ground level of mature forests. State of conservationThis flower is in grave danger of extinction; because of its beauty, traffickers take it away from its habitat. The Panamanian NGO APROVACA runs a sponsorship program for this orchid to save it from extinction.[2] It is included on the list of endangered plants according to the Washington Treaty on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.[3] National Flower of PanamaSince 1936, this orchid is the national flower of the Republic of Panama declared in the Flower Festival.[4][5] References1. ^{{cite book|last1=Meisel|first1=Joe E.|last2=Kaufmann|first2=Ronald S.|last3=Pupulin|first3=Franco|title=Orchids of Tropical America: An Introduction and Guide|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=TqSDBQAAQBAJ&pg=PA164|accessdate=18 March 2016|date=6 November 2014|publisher=Cornell University Press|isbn=978-0-8014-5492-9|page=164}} 2. ^http://www.aprovaca.org/en/projects/orchid-sponsorship.html{{dead link|date=March 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} 3. ^http://cites.org/eng/node/11148 4. ^República de Panamá. . 5. ^http://burica.wordpress.com/2007/09/01/la-flor-nacional-de-panama-peristeria-elata/
