    Anyone who knows a bit about this specie? I only know that it is from Ecuador. Where does the name come from?

    According to IOPSE, it grows in the Andes near rivers at elevations from 1100 to 2000 meters. It is named after a Danish orchid collector (Madsen).

    Alexis, another one that is small, wonderful and smells good is Epi. whittenii. It is also white.
