Ansellia Africana, commonly known as the Leopard Orchid or African Ansellia, is a striking, robust orchid species native to tropical and southern Africa. It is characterized by its tall, cane-like pseudobulbs and leathery leaves, and produces large, showy inflorescences that can bear numerous flowers. The blooms are typically yellow or greenish-yellow, adorned with distinctive reddish-brown or maroon spots and markings that give it its "leopard" moniker. A unique adaptation is its "trash basket" formation of aerial roots, which collect detritus for nutrients. This species is known for its resilience and can grow into spectacular, large clumps.
