Lepanthes-eltoroensis-2021-04-23***Confirmed as Lepanthes eltoroensis (Nov 2021); the description in the "Orchid Flora of the Greater Antilles" by James Ackerman has the ramicauls at 2-3 cm and leaf petioles at less than 1 cm; with the leaf blade at 1.8-2.4 cm long x 0.7-0.9 cm wide; this plant has leaves at 1.6 cm x 0.6 cm, which is close enough; according to the key, the sparse cilia on the sepals only occur on L. selenitepela, L. sanguinea or L. eltoroensis; and the slight connation between the sepals on the default photo favors L. eltoroensis over L. sanguinea; the flowers are not yellowish with red markings and the petals are not "semilunar" shaped, so it is not L. selenitepala.***
