Dracula simia, called also monkey orchid or the monkey-like Dracula, is an epiphytic orchid originally described in the genus Masdevallia,[2] but later moved to the genus Dracula.[1] The arrangement of column, petals and lip strongly resembles a monkey's face.[2][3] The plant blooms at any season with several flowers on the inflorescence that open successively.[2] Flowers are fragrant with the scent of a ripe orange.[4][5][6]
