| Genus: | Pteroglossaspis |
Pteroglossaspis is a genus of flowering plants from the orchid family, Orchidaceae.
Pteroglossaspis ecristata (Wild Coco or Giant Orchid) grows three to four feet high in savannas, as well as "sandhills, scrub, pine platwoods and pine rocklands". It grows from Florida to Louisiana along the coastal plain. In Louisiana it grows both east of the Mississippi River in flatwoods, and west of the Mississippi River in coastal prairies. Both of these habitats are at risk from habitat destruction and fire suppression. Like many species of coastal plain savannas, it responds positively to fire.
It also occurs in Cuba.
