Dendrophylax funalis, also known as the Ghost Orchid, a nickname also given to the Dendrophylax lindenii,
is a species of epiphytic orchid that is native to the island of Jamaica.[2] [3] This flower is very similar to a flower of the same genus, the Dendrophylax lindenii. The two flowers have the same scent of jasmine and fresh apples;[3] however, the funalis has small lime-green petals while the lindenii has two twisted white petals that look similar to the hind legs of a jumping frog. It the funalis grows much more easily compared to the lindenii. Along with other flowers of the Dendrophylax genus, the funalis is endangered. [3]
