Dracula carcinopsis
Dracula carcinopsis is an epiphytic orchid in the family Orchidaceae. The name Dracula literally means "little dragon", an allusion to the mythical Count Dracula, a lead character in numerous vampire novels and films. The name was applied to the orchid because of the blood-red color of several of the species, and the strange aspect of the long spurs of the sepals.
