Dracula simia, known also as the monkey-like Dracula, is an epiphytic orchid originally described as part of the genus Masdevallia,[2] but later reclassified as part of genus Dracula.[1] The arrangement of column, petals and lip resembles a monkey's face.[2][3] The plant blooms at any season with several flowers on the inflorescence that open successively.[2] Flowers are fragrant with the scent of a ripe orange.[4][5][6] The monkey orchid is native to the cloud forests of Ecuador. Currently, this orchid is in danger of extinction due to habitat destruction and over-collection.[7][8][9][10]
