Pleurothallis grobyii?

[dlewan]

Once upon a time I had a plant labelled Pleurothallis grobyii. It was a great plant. It thrived in my intermediate - warm temperatures. It was mounted, but was quite happy being ignored on occasion. Bloomed like mad with small, almost spherical, yellow blooms on 2-3cm inflorescences. (I'm not convinced that I remember the shape correctly.) The leaves were small, perhaps 2 would fit on your pinky nail, firm and "puffy" at possibly 2mm thick.

I'd like to get it back into my collection but all the Pleuro. grobyii that I find have small, grass-like leaves, almost Masdevallia-like. The flowers also don't look like I remember them. Small and yellow, yes, but somewhat like a bird's head.

I'm willing to believe that the original plant was misidentified. Pleurothallis, after all, has its vague edges.

(1) What might that original plant have been?
(2) Are the plants I see advertised as Pleurothallis grobyii as nicely tolerant as my original plant?
(3) Is Specklinia grobyii an alias?

Thanks.
