Neocogniauxia monophylla
Here is a cute miniature in the Cattleya tribe. Pictured with my hand for approximate scale. It is in a 2 inch (5 cm) basket with small bark (The 3 inch/7.5 cm terracotta pot is just for weight) Flowers are about 1.75 inches (4.5 cm), spikes 3-4 inches (7.5-10 cm). It has been growing on my patio for about 2 1/2 years, so clearly it's pretty forgiving of conditions in general. I suspect that it could grow mounted if it had enough humidity, like in a terrarium.
Not that easy to find, but I have been seeing them around (like on eBay) occasionally.
