    I once had masdevallia andreettaeana and if recall it was pretty small I'm not sure if it's as small as your looking for though.

    No, not that one, Zach. It isn't tiny and it has big leaves.

    I think so far William has come up with a couple of species that might fit the criteria... I guess those tiny ones are not as popular (in collections) as I thought.

    Hers a list I made going through Luer's Icones:
    adamsii, 25-45 mm
    condorensis, 30-50 mm
    phacopsis, 20-40 mm
    vasquezii, 30-40 mm
    bangii
    gnoma
    irapama
    kyphonantha
    lansbergii

    The last group I don't have the issue of Icones where they are described, but an internet search looks like they are what you are looking for.....I don't grow any of them, but would like to.

    William, I really appreciate this list and I will definitely check into those on your list. Masd. bangii is the only one on the list that I have now. Thanks again.

    Yup! at least 2.5".
    Do you grow it, Daniel? If you have a tiny Masd. wendlandiana , I would like to see a photo of it...matter of fact,, if you have any Masdevallia around 1" tall, I would love to see it. So far, the only 1" tall Masdevallia that I have now is the Masd. hoeijeri, a tiny little thing and that is exactly what I am talking about, something tiny.

    I got an awarded minuta and wendlandiana in a raffle. I'll get a snap of them on Tuesday. I'm 99% certain it's <1.5". I think I flowered it once in the last three years. Actually the plants are from the east coast too.

    minuta is a tiny one but wendlandiana is much bigger.

    Thanks for the photos. They are not 1" tall for sure but they look tiny enough on photo and got the leaf shape that I am talking about. Have you bloom out any of them? The wendlandiana look just like your minuta and a bit smaller than normal as well(normally it is 2.5"+ tall). If your wendlandiana blooms out true to name and have a piece available in the future, let me know.

    Edit, you did say it bloomed for you once before..., they are nice looking plants and they should bloom for you regularly.

    I bloomed the wendlandiana, it has some award on it (only as a cultural or botanical significance type). I was growing them cool and switched to a intermediate condition. I could divide a piece off for you

    Those type of awards don't mean much to me. Culture award goes to the grower anyway.

    Just send me PM when you have a piece of it available(perhaps this fall), and we can work something out for that.

    Alfonso, thank you for the recommendation. I have not seen that one before.

    I googled but no plant photos available. Would you show me a photo of the plant if not much of trouble?

    Hi Tom, I'm happy to share a photo. I just took one. It's not a beautiful photo but you can see the habit. The inflorescences are descending and curve up in a U shape.
