Sudamerlycaste dyeriana

Sudamerlycaste dyeriana is an orchid endemic to Peru and Ecuador.[2] It is one of the very few insect-pollinated flowers (and the only orchid) which is entirely green in color.[3] Other Sudamerlycaste species, such as Sudamerlycaste locusta are mostly green, but have white markings.
