    A tiny and cute Trichosalpinx , that blooms from every leaf.
    No name yet, though to be honest I haven't looked yet.! Trichosalpinx sp. Ecuador (853x1280).jpg

    That's a keeper! Is the top of the leaf also striped?

    Looks like Trichosalpinx dirhamphis. I just stumbled across it while looking on the J&L web site. That's lots of flowers for a small plant.

    Hi Spiro,

    This seems to me to be closer to Trichosalpinx dura as I cannot see any side-lobes on the lip that I would expect for Tsx. dirhamphis as suggested by Kelly.

    Reference: Luer, C.A. (1997) Icones Pleurothallidinarum XV - Systematics of Trichosalpinx. Missouri Botanical Garden, Missouri.

    Cheers.

    Gary
