Common Name The Serrated Lobe Pleurothallis [refers to the lobes of the lip]
Flower Size .16" [4 mm]
Found in Espirito Santo and Rio de Janiero states of Brazil at elevations around 200 to 700 meters as a mini-miniature sized, hot to warm growing, shortly repent epiphyte with erect, cylindrical ramicauls with a single sheath and carrying a single, apical, erect, fleshy, oblong-lanceolate, purple suffused beneath, subacute, longly petiolate base leaf that blooms in the summeron 1 to 3, shorter than the leaf, successively single, to 6 flowered inflorescence.
"It is recognized by its oblong-elliptical leaves, which are longer than the ramicauls, and the inflorescences which are much shorter than the leaves and usually produced in a fascicle of several racemes at the apex of the ramicauls. The short, few- flowered racemes produce up to ca. 6 successive flowers; a single open flower is found near the apex of the racemes. The lip is slightly three-lobed, the side lobes are round and erect with minutely pillose margins; a central, longitudinal callosity runs from the very base up to near the middle of the lip; at the middle or between the middle and the apical three-quarters of the lip there is also a pair of parallel, short, elongate callosities or elevations which are usually very faint and difficult to see without magnifying lenses."
