I got the plant Sept. 2010 from Andrea Niesson/Orquideas del Valle.


there are 42 leaves, the longest is 6.4cm x 1.2cm,  the smallest(mature) is 5.0cm x 0.7cm.  the ramicauls have 3 burgundy sheaths.  The leaf tips have 3 very sharp almost hairlike points(tips).the central one is the finest.  Inflorescences are sequential, 2 to 3 flowered.  Ramicauls  bloom more than once.  Young leaves emerge with a reddish tint.  The growth habit is caespitose.  There are two sheaths, low and midway on the inflorescense, and each flower also has a sheath to rise out of.
