Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range C (52-70°F)
Comments: An interesting species in the Ornithocephalinae alliance, the pseudobulbs of this species are less than 1/8" across and the leaves are semi-translucent and pale bluish-green. Seed capsules are nearly spherical, or more properly, sub-orbicular and translucent just like the leaves. Seed capsule gives the illusion of being able to see the seed inside. Capsules measure 0.6 cm x 0.7 cm.

The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker
The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: The epiphytic orchid was discovered in 1936 near
Temascaltepec in the state of México. No other details or habitat location
or elevation were reported for the type specimen. In 1938, however, a
collection was made near Tepeyte in the mountains northwest of Cuernavaca
in the state of Morelos at 7200-8550 ft. (2200-2600 m). Hágsater & Salazar
(1990) reported that the plant is now known to occur in the states of
Jalisco, Michoacán, México, Morelos, Guerrero, and probaly Oaxaca. Plants
grow as epiphytes in evergreen cloudforest and moist pine-oak forest,
mainly along streams and ravines, and are known to occur at 5600-7200 ft.
(1700-2200 m). According to Hawkes (1965) these plants usually grow on
small twigs and branches in areas that are almost constantly bathed in fog
and mist, and their roots normally are covered by absorbent mosses and
lichens.
