I agree, it looks like tripterantha. Interestingly enough, it does resemble Masd. pachyura. Google search images for it reveal a multi floral Masd. species similiar to the pleuro. I was not familiar with the multi floral Masd. till now.

Cool tank and very cool orchid.

Very nice! I do agree that this is Pleurothallis tripterantha (Effusia).

The multi-floral Masdevallia genus that is being referred to is Spilotantha.

Default Masdevallia pachyura

This is my Masdevallia that I got as M. pachyura
Masdevallia pachyura | Orchids Online

Is it a variant of the typical pachyura?

Your plant pictured on Orchidsonline is actually a color variant of Spilotantha polysticta (Mas. polysticta; Section Amandae).

Thanks Pat!!!
It's always nice to have the correct label on a plant and on a blog entry!

I have come across polysticta before and thought mine was similar but yep the color was different:
Masdevallia polysticta | Orchids Online

I actually have another Masdevallia polysticta that hasn't flowered yet too .

Is Spilotantha one of the new reclassfication names for various [used to be] Masdevallias?

Spilotantha polysticta can be found in many colors, and vary in hairiness and length of caudae. Seems as if you have a good S. polysticta collection going on there

The new segregate genus Spiloltantha divides Subgenus Amanda from Masdevallia. It is one of many segregate genera made from Masdevallia...
