A small, single-leaved epiphyte native to the cloud forests of Ecuador, bearing solitary flowers with a large concave dorsal sepal and elongated connate lateral sepals forming a pointed downward cone, finely dotted in deep burgundy-brown. The small fimbriate lip and translucent column contrast sharply against the dark textured tepals.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the fleshy leaf.
• Temperature: 50–68°F (10–20°C); a Cool to Intermediate grower. Tolerates brief dips to 45°F (7°C) if kept dry.
• Humidity: 75–90%; maintain consistently high humidity with good air movement to prevent fungal issues.
• Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the mount or medium to approach dryness between waterings; avoid prolonged saturation at the roots.

Additional Notes

Best grown mounted on cork or tree fern to replicate its natural lithophytic and epiphytic habitat. Plants are shipped bare root and well-established.
