It's named for the enormous Angel Trumpet flowers belonging to the genus Datura or Brugmansia.

In Explore April 14, 2010, #311. This wonderful orchid species is native to Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. It was photographed at the Northwest Washington Orchid Society show in Shoreline, Washington.

Lepanthes nycteris is from Bolivia and Peru and belongs to a group of orchids whose flowers are mostly small but very unusual, very complex and often very colorful. In this case the rather strange flowers are named after a genus of bats, the Slit-faced Bats, or Nycteridae. The plant to which these flowers belong is 6-7 cm and the flowers a little over 2 cm tall. The plant has oval leaves on thin, wiry stems and the flowers come in succession on thin dangling spikes. For this reason the plant is better grown mounted, and mine is on a thin piece of cork bark. Since it comes from high altitude cloud forest, it should be grown cool and moist and prefers quite low light. orchidsinbloom-ron.blogspot.com/2011/09/lepanthes-nycteri...
