Aspasia silvana is a species of orchid, exclusively and endemic in the eastern Brazilian Serra do Mar mountains, from Rio de Janeiro to Bahia. It forms large colonies, however, being not a particularly common species, it is just occasionally found, mostly on areas of transition between shady forest and open areas both in rain forests and cloud montane forests.
