Thank you, I think is cardiothallis but the color doesn't match...
I don't know the difference between pleurothallis and acronia... the same thing with another name....
Your photo is from a Epidendrum Nocturnum....isn't it?? I have two of them and they smell very good specially at night...

Beto,
There is much color variation in Acronia cardiothallis, in fact, I've even seen an orange and a f. aurea form before

As for Acronia, it is a mere segregation, or split, of the Pleurothallis. The genus Acronia comes from Pleurothallis Section Pleurothallis, Subsection Acroniae and Subsection Macrophyllae-Fasciculatae. These two subsections make up the genus Acronia. Essentially, Pleurothallis cardiothallis and Acronia cardiothallis are the same exact plant, just Luer's treatment has split the genus.

The profile picture is of my Epidendrum pseudonocturnum, a species described in 1993 from Esmeraldas, Ecuador. It's very similar to Epidendrum nocturnum, though
