Found in South-East and Southern Brazil near the coast at elevations around 400m as a miniature sized, warm to hot growing epiphyte with thin, narrow, oblong-ligulate, compressed, ancipitous pseudobulbs subtended basally by several, distichous, leaf-bearing sheaths and carrying 2 apical, grass-like, cuneate, linear-ligulate, acute, membraneous leaves that blooms on an arching, slender, 18cm long, loosely several flowered inflorescence occurring in the summer and autumn with tiny fragrant flowers. Best grown on a slab of tree fern in warm to cool temperatures, moderate shade and kept moist year-round except for a short dry rest after the pseudobulb has matured. | Found in South-East and Southern Brazil near the coast at elevations around 400m as a miniature sized, warm to hot growing epiphyte with thin, narrow, oblong-ligulate, compressed, ancipitous pseudobulbs subtended basally by several, distichous, leaf-bearing sheaths and carrying 2 apical, grass-like, cuneate, linear-ligulate, acute, membraneous leaves that blooms on an arching, slender, 18cm long, loosely several flowered inflorescence occurring in the summer and autumn with tiny fragrant flowers.
