Laelia gouldiana is a plant of the orchid genus Laelia.[1]
The orchid, now is extinct in the wild, was endemic to the mountains of Hidalgo state and much of northeast Mexico.[2] It grew as an epiphyte on trees in its native habitats at elevations of around 1550 metres.[3] [4]
Laelia gouldiana is now only found and grown as a cultivated ornamental plant.
It can grow up to 1m (03feet) tall and has pink flowers.[1]
It prefers an extended dry period between waterings, cooler temperatures, and lower humidity than most Laelia species.
