Found in Norte de Santander and Cundinamarca departments of Colombia and Ecuador in scrub cloud forests at elevations of 2400 to 2750 meters as a miniature to small sized, cold growing epiphyte with erect, slender ramicauls enveloped basally by 4 to 5 imbricating, ribbed, tubular sheaths carrying a single, apical, erect, thickly coriaceous, narrowly linear-elliptical, acute leaf that gradually narrows into the base and blooms in the later spring on a succession of single flowers arising in a fascile near the apex of the ramicaul.
"Characterized by the small habit, the thick, narrowly linear leaves as long as or longer than the ramicaul, greenish flower parts striped with purple and acuminate or falcate lobes of the lip." Luer 1991
