Found in Nariño and Putumayo departments of Colombia and Napo and Pichincha provinces of Ecuador at elevations around 3000 to 3100 meters as a large to just giant sized, cold growing terrestrial with 2 to 5, basal to cauline, narrowly oblanceolate to linear-lanceolate, acute, basally tapering into the conduplicate, petiolate base leaves that blooms at most any time of the year on an erect, 12" [30 cm] long, provided with several sheathing bracts, glandular in the upper parts, rachis to 1.6" [10 cm] long, densely many flowered inflorescence with ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, glabrous, as long as the ovary floral bracts and carrying rather small flowers.
Distinguished by the foliaceous peduncle, the pubescent ovary, the saccate, entire lip with the same texture throughout, the glabrous sepals more than .12" [3 mm] long, the rachis all sided, the falcate-ligulate petals that are single nerved, the fleshy, obscurely medianally keeled lip that is longer than broad.
"Similar to Cranichis cucullata and Cranichis carlos-parrae but only C lehmanniana has the disc of the lip ornamented with a callus." Szlach. & Kolan. 2020
