Arudina Graminifolia - known locally as orkid buluh

Arudina Graminifolia lowland orchids is widely found in Malaysia. It was found up to 1500 meters altitude, where along the road leading to Cameron Highlands, this can be asily found along the road, espically from Simpang Pulai to Cameron Highlands. Even, along the PLUS North South Expressway, near Tapah, this spceices can be found along side the road.

Orchids found in highland, will have bigger flower compared to the lowland orchids, thus, dont be suprised if the flowers found in Cameron Highlands is
bigger compare found at Tapah.

The plant can grow up to 200 cm, and enjoy full sunlight, thus making it a good garden plant since it is free flowering.
