Acianthera alligatorifera (Rchb.f.) Pridgeon & M.W.Chase
This is relatively common in the south and southeast regions of Brasil. Former Pleurothallis, Aciantheras have in general interesting flowers considering their size. In this species the flower color varies towands the green, but I prefer this brown hue.

I can see where the name came from. Looks like it could bite your finger off.

I can't say what tree the wood came from SP, but it is not extremely hard, on the contrary, relatively soft (not cork). In four years it is relatively broken down already. |
