ORIGIN: This is a Mexican mini-miniature sized, cool to cold growing epiphytic and sometimes lithophytic species from the northwestern Gulf coast mountains where it occurs in cloud and oak forests at elevations of 1700 to 2200 meters.
DESCRIPTION: This is a Mexican mini-miniature sized, cool to cold growing epiphytic and sometimes lithophytic species from the northwestern Gulf coast mountains where it occurs in cloud and oak forests at elevations of 1700 to 2200 meters with short, gradually widening stems enveloped by tubular, scarious sheaths and carrying 2 to 3 apical, elliptic to ovate, basally clasping leaves and flowers throughout the year on a terminal, long-pedunculate, 20 to 30 [50 to 75 cm] long, erect to arcuate, racemose inflorescence arising on mature or maturing pseudobulbs in the late winter subtended by many elliptic bracts with one to two successive flowers that open one at a time.
FLOWER SIZE: 3/4 wide inches [2 cm] but the petals continue to elongate as the flower matures and can reach 1 3/4 to 2 inches [4 to 5 cm] -- information provided by Jay Pfahl, author of the Internet Orchid Species Encyclopedia (IOSPE).
