A large-growing species native to Ecuador, remarkable within the genus for its size. It develops broad, finely velutinous elliptic leaves and produces dense racemes of multiple simultaneous flowers from the leaf base, each with broad translucent ovate sepals forming a compact globose-concave structure and an elaborate central floral complex with bilobed petals and a prominent contrasting labellum at the opening.
Additional Notes
Best grown in a small net pot with fine sphagnum moss or mounted on cork. Its large velutinous leaves and prolific dense racemes make it one of the most impressive cool-growing Lepanthes in cultivation. Plants are shipped bare root and well-established.
