Common Name The Notched Scaphyglottis

Flower Size .36" [9 mm]

Found in Cuba, Dominican Republic, Greneda and Surinam as a medium sized, hot growing epiphyte with cylindrical, slightly sulcate pseudobulbs carrying a single, apical, subterete, sulcate above, narrowly linear-subulate, acute leaf that blooms on a terminal, short, single flowered inflorescence.

Often confused with Scaphyglottis reflexa but differs mostly in the longer pedicel that is not enveloped by imbricating sheaths.

Synonyms Fractiunguis reflexus (Rchb.f.) Schltr. 1922; Hexisea reflexa Rchb.f. 1877; *Reichenbachanthus emarginatus Garay 1967
