Editing Phragmipedium kovachii (section)

== Ecology ==
''Phragmipedium kovachii'' grows in clumps of 15 to 20 individuals on [[cretaceous]] [[limestone]] cliffs facing south, in east–west oriented valleys.<ref name=":4" /><ref name=":5" /> It is apparently a soil [[Generalist and specialist species|specialist]] since, unlike other ''Phragmipedium'' species, it prefers calcareous soils with an 85.7% of [[calcium carbonate]] content.<ref name=":5" />

Pollinators of this species are still unknown to science, but thought to be larger than in other ''Phragmipedium'' species, due to the bigger size of the lip.<ref name=":3" /> It is also hypothesized that the color pattern of the flowers mimics that of ''[[Tibouchina]]'' species, and helps attract pollinators that are sensitive to color.<ref name=":3" />
