Brassavola cucullata, common name daddy long-legs orchid, is a species of orchid native to Mexico (from Sinaloa and San Luis Potosí south to Chiapas and the Yucatán Peninsula), Belize, Central America, the West Indies and northern South America ( Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, French Guinea). [1] [2] [3] [4]
Brassavola cucullatais the type species for the genus Brassavola, and the only member of B. sect. Brassavola. The diploid chromosome number of B. cucullata has been determined as 2n = 40. [5]
