Found in Venezuela on the eastern slope of Cerro Sipapo at elevations around 1500 to 1600 metrs as a mini-minature sized, cool growing, densely caespitose epiphyte with slender, erect, non-prolific ramicauls enveloped by 2 to 3, close fitting, microscopically ciliate, lepanthiform sheaths and carrying a single, apical, erect, coriaceous, broadly elliptic, obtuse to rounded apically, broadly cuneate below into the petiolate base leaf that blooms in the late summer on an erect, from near the apex of the ramicaul, pedumncle filiform, 2 to 2.5 cm] long, distantly .12 to .16" [3 to 4 mm] apart, 2 flowered inflorescence with much shorter than the pedicel floral bracts.
