Common Name The Very Long Myoxanthus [refers to the elongate petals]
Flower Size 1" [2.5 cm]
Found in Zamora-Chinchipe province of Ecuador at elevations around 2500 to 2800 meters as a small sized, cold growing epiphyte with a slender, erect, much longer than the leaves ramicaul enveloped by a series of 6 to 7 tubular, hispidulous sheaths and carrying a single, apical, erect, coriaceous, narrowly ovate, acute, cuneate below into the conduplicate, petiolate base leaf that blooms in the later summer and fall on a congested, fascile of .16" [4 mm] long, successively single flowered infloresacence arising through a spathe at the apex of the ramicaul, with echinate, as long as the pedicel floral bracts.
"Distinguished by the long, slender ramicauls, considerably longer than the leaves. Most diagnostic is the long subulate petals that protrude well beyond the reddish sepals and the lip with unicnate lobes." Luer 1992
