Common Name The Simple Stemmed Myoxanthus
"Distinguished by the strictly caespitose habit with slender ramicuals and narrow leaves. Although superficially similar to Myoxanthus scandens , the small flowers are disinguished by the minutely pubescent sepals and petals with a more acutely defined, thick, apical segment, The lips of both species are similar." LUer 1992
Synonyms *Pleurothallis scandens var. simplicicaulis C.Schweinf.1962; Pleurothallis simplicicaulis (C.Schweinf.) Luer 1977
