A delicate miniature species from the cloud forests of Ecuador, bearing solitary flowers on short inflorescences that emerge directly from the leaf axil. The blooms feature broad, wing-like lateral sepals with a finely pubescent texture, paired with slender, downward-curving petals and labellum that give the flower a graceful, crescent-like silhouette.
