Etymology:	sesquipedale = one and half foot, 45cm, refers to the length of the spur
Trade name:	Comet orchid
Propagation:	seed
Origin:	Madagaskar
Habitat:	grow epiphytically at altitudes of 100 meters or less on sloping tree trunks and crotches of trees near the seashore in areas where it is consistantly hot and steady abundant rainfall all year round
Notes:	strong scented, more intense with full moon at night This species was made famous by Charles Darwin's prediction that there would be a pollinator out there that could reach to the bottom of the extremely long spur in the back of the flower. His prediction came true with the discovery of a long-tongued hawk moth, Xanthopan morganii praedicta about 100 years later.
