Common Name Barrow's Pleurothallis [British Cultivator of the species current]
Flower Size .2" [5 mm]
Found in Zamora-Chinchipe province of Ecuador on the steep hillsides in premontane rainforest at elevations around 900 to 1000 meters as a small sized, warm growing, caespitose epiphyte with slender, suberect, terete ramicauls with 2, basal, tubular sheaths and carrying a single, apical, spreading-descending, deflexed, coriaceous, microscopically papillate, narrowly ovate, acuminate, sessile, cordate at the base leaf with unequal lobes that blooms in the later spring on a reclining, arising through a suberect, scabrous spathaceous bract, fascicle of successively single, few flowered inflorescence with infundibuliform, shorter than the ovary floral bract.
"Part of the Pleurothallis cardiostola/Pleurothallis lilijae complex. Similar to P. lanigera from which it is distinguished by the narrowly ovate leaves (vs. cordate-ovate), the straight, subverrucose ovary (vs. curved, minutely papillose), the broadly elliptic dorsal sepal (vs. broadly ovate), the shortly acuminate, narrowly lanceolate, papillose-verrucose, 1-veined petals (vs. acute, elliptic, pubescent, 3- veined) and the lip with a basal, bilobed glenion (vs. lip with a central, circular glenion)."
