Species Highlight - Bonatea antennifera

Bonatea antennifera is a robust terrestrial orchid up to 1.2 m tall. Syn: Bonatea speciosa var. antennifera. Found in the Northern Cape, Free State, Mpumalanga, Gauteng and Limpopo Provinces. Usually found as an individual plant, growing in leaf litter and always growing in the shade of trees. It seems to grow above 800 m in inland savanna conditions in predominantly summer rainfall areas. Remains fairly abundant in Gauteng, but rapid urbanisation is reducing it's habitat. All South African orchids are protected under CITES regulations.
