Common Name Mireya's Sobralia [Panamanian Botanist current]

Flower Size 4" [10 cm]

Found in Panama in highly exposed, windy locations as a medium sized, cool growing terrestrial with erect stems carrying ovate to lanceolate-ovate, plicate, heavily corrugated, 9 veined, slightly acuminate, minutely bilobed apcially leaves that blooms in the spring on a terminal, successively single flowered inflorescence.

This species is said to be a synonym of S citrea but I have left them separate for now pending more research.
