DESCRIPTION: Found as a small sized, ascending or creeping, cool to hot growing epiphyte in Florida, the West Indies, Trinidad, Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, Peru, Venezuela, Brazil and the Guyanas in elfin or wet montane forests at elevations of sea-level to 1400 meters with a complanate, elongate rhizome completely enveloped by distichous, imbricating, scarious bracts with well spaced ovate-elliptic, compressed pseudobulbs subtended by a pair of scarious, non foliaceous sheaths and carrying a single, apical, oblong-lanceolate, abruptly attenuate to conduplicate, petiolate base, acute leaf that blooms on a fascicle of filiform, axillary inflorescence arising from the base of the mature pseudobulb as the new shoots arise occurring at any time of the year and holding the clustered flowers close to the pseudobulb. This species is often found in conjunction with ants and may benefit from their presence.
