A remarkably free-flowering species from the Andean cloud forests, producing an abundance of small, creamy white to pale yellow-green flowers simultaneously on slender upright stems. The hooded, forward-tilting sepals and short curved caudas give each bloom a delicate, nodding character that is charming en masse above the compact, glossy foliage.
