Trichosalpinx-escobarii-Tiny-Something-2023-02-15 *SITF has determined this plant is Pendusalpinx patula, not Trichosalpinx escobarii (Jul 2023). 

Plant identification aided by Alfonso Doucette. Trichosalpinx patula is synonymous with Pendusalpinx patula. Key characteristics of this plant which identify it as Pendusalpinx patula include the ramicauls covered in prominent white bracts on the newest growths, leaves that are distinctly glaucous, a pair of broad wings on the column and leaves which turn down and are basally twisted; flower size also is in range for P. patula.
