Bastida Tapia added that this flower is given in all states, especially in Chiapas, where 750 species are recorded, and in Oaxaca 400.
To avoid the extinction of these flowers, the researcher reported that teachers held UACh a scientific collection of orchids for 15 years, and provides courses on their potential and create awareness among the communities where they are.
