A delicate and intriguing species from the Andean cloud forests of Colombia and Ecuador, it produces flowers with widely spreading, translucent sepals adorned with fine spotting and an exceptionally long, thread-like dorsal tail that rises dramatically above the bloom. Its dense, compact growth habit makes it an elegant miniature for collections.
