    This is one of several types of Trichosalpinx orbicularis, a warm to intermediate growing epiphyte from Central- to nothern South America where it grows at elevations of 180 to 1500 meters.The flowers measure about 2.5 mm. each and grow about 9-10 like a bunch of grapes under the leaf. The leaves are green on top and dark purple underneath. I grow it mounted in the cool vivarium, medium light and high humidity. More pictures on the blog.
