Arundina graminifolia (Orquídea Bambú)

Seen in San Rafael, Antioquia, Colombia.

 

Bamboo Orchid is a terrestrial orchid native to tropical and subtropical Asia.

 

The genus name "Arundina" is derived from the Greek word, "Arundo", in reference to the reed-like stems of the plant, while the specific epithet "graminifolius" comes from the Latin "gramineus" and "folius", which refer to the grass-like leaves.
