This rare botanical print perfectly exemplifies the captivating charm of the Prism-Shaped Seedpod Panarica (previously Epidendrum Prismatocarpum). It was first published in Henry Frederick Conrad Sander's landmark publication from the nineteenth century titled Reichenbachia.Known for his orchids, Henry Sander, the man who earned the nickname “Orchid King,” did not cut any corners when capturing the finest examples of epiphytes. The present plate, in particular, demonstrates the erect racemes, featuring creamy yellow sepals with dark chocolate-maroon spots, which create a stunning contrast against the bright rose-pink lip.
