Found in Costa Rica and Panama as a small sized, warm to cool growing epiphyte at elevations of 1200 to 2100 meters with slender, suberect to horizontal ramicauls enveloped basally by 2 close, tubular sheaths and another on the lower half and carrying a single, apical suberect to horizontal, coriaceous, avate, acute, basally sessile and deeply cordate leaf that can bloom at any time of the year on a fascile of successive single (sometimes two) flowered inflorescence arising through a narrow spathe.
Easily distinguished by the large, not widely expanded flower with a deeply concave dorsal sepal and a synsepal concave below the middle to accomodate the comparitively large transversely ovate, concave lip with 2 pairs of calli which is surrounded by the falcate, fringed petals.
