Angraecum scottianum is found on the Comoros islands near the east coast of Africa above Madagascar. The plant grows there upon other plants and trees in a warm environment at altitudes around 450 meters. The leaves of Angraecum scottianum are around 10 centimetre and have a round needle shape, making them hard to distinguish from the slightly lighter green stem. The flowers have a large snow white flower petal and four smaller pointy greenish white petals. The diameter of the flower is around 6 centimetre, but it carries an impressive nectar tube of 15 centimetre. The nectar is hidden at the bottom of it, so it will be no surprise that it is pollinated by insects with very long tongues, like moths. The flower of Angraecum scottianum smells sweetish and grow from a flower stem of around 15 centimetre, opening up one at a time.
