Pleuro viduata
This one is growing into a very large plant, it would have close to 50 spikes developing and the flowers are tiny and delicate. It seems to tolerate a huge variation in temperatures.

Wow, that is nice. Really nice. I have never heard of this one before. The blooms are so clean looking. Thanks for sharing.

I've never heard of this one either. Looks very cool and with 50 blooms on plant that is a manageable size, this is definitely one to go on my list! Any scent? For that matter, do any Pleuros smell?

Some basic info:
Aka Ancipitia viduata.
Not much information is available on the whereabouts of their natural habitat.
They were "lost". This is what the word "viduata" is eluding to. The Latin word "viduata" means: "devoid, deprived, widowed, bereft"
This plant is not very well known, but it is definitely grown amongst those who do grow Pleurothallids.
Cultural information regarding this plant is not often disclosed, but is obviously known.
