Myrmecophila humboldtii is a species of orchid named after Alexander von Humboldt. Its natural distribution is Venezuela and the ABC islands (Bonaire, Curaçao and Aruba). In Aruba, this orchid species is almost extinct. The genus name means "ant-loving" and refers to the fact that the hollow pseudobulbs of this plant can house colonies of ants, which in turn protect the plants from potentially harmful insects. Grows in deciduous tree species whose beautiful flowers usually emerge at the end of long (sometimes 1 metre) stems.
