Cryptocentrum Standleyi
Hi all;
An interesting miniature flowered for me a week ago for the first time ,and I'd like to share the photo with you.
Its Cryptocentrum Standleyi (my determination),a tiny little "hedgehog" of a plant with interesting flowers.
The whole genus is interesting,being one of the few representatives of an almost totally old world family which includes the Angreacums,Aerangis etc.
This species has a "hidden" spur that is stuck under the ovary,and is not visible unless the flower is bent back.
Its from Ecuador,mid elevations (around 500meters).
Enjoy
