Lepanthes sp aff. calodictyon Colombia

Photo by © Jay Pfahl Copyright © 2006 All rights reserved.

Found in Colombia where it blooms in the spring on a single flower arising from the base of the patterned, margins entire, ovate, acuminate apically leaf.

Also similar to L kayii in the leaf but that leaf has undulate margins and this one is entire and flat, and the lip is different.

The following species are similar yet suffficiently different to make them separate species L barbelifera, L. bibarbullata , Lepanthes microcalodictyon, L pantominia, L pretiosa, L salatrix, L tentacula, L. tortuosa , L volador and the recently described species L. kayii .
