ORIGIN: Occurs from Costa Rica to Colombia in low, mossy woods on large branches and tree trunks between 1000 and 1700 meters.

DESCRIPTION: This medium sized, warm to cool growing epiphytic species is an erect plant that has fairly round, fleshy, compressed pseudobulbs enveloped basally by several, papery, imbricating sheaths and carrying a single apical, broadly elliptic-lanceolate, pointed, coriaceous yet flexible, erect or curved, abruptly narrows below into an elongate conduplicate petiolate base leaf and up to 8 long. They have a basal inflorescence arising on a newly formed pseudobulb that is pendulous or curved, short, with 2-5 longlasting, large, fragrant flowers that occur in the late winter to early spring. Yearly repotting, regular water while in growth and a month long cooler, well ventilated rest insure a healthy blooming plant.
