Aspidogyne mendoncae is a species of orchid that grows in Brazil.

Biology

Aspidogyne mendoncae grows in humus on the floor of lowland forests, in the Brazilian state of Espírito Santo.

Taxonomic history

Aspidogyne mendoncae was first described by Alexander Curt Brade and Guido Frederico João Pabst in 1958, under the name Erythrodes mendoncae. In 1977, Leslie Andrew Garay transferred the species to a new, monotypic genus, Rhamphorhynchus, as Rhamphorhynchus mendoncae. In 2008, Paul Ormerod concluded that the genus Rhamphorhynchyus could not be maintained as separate from Aspidogyne, creating the current combination, Aspidogyne mendoncae.
