Colombia Orchid 5
 

What might this be?

? Lepanthes ?

I will look it up thanks.

I agree, Lepanthes. They have flowers from the leaf sinus like this. If you go to orchidspecies.com you can look through the genus and try to find it.

Thanks very much.

I think Pleurothallis... Lepanthes flowers come from the underside of the leaf, Pleurothalis from the top

Thank you that helps.

It probably will be difficult or impossible to get an exact species, there are lots of these that look very similar.

Not Lepanthes. Definitely Pleurothallis. Most likely Pleurothallis marthae.

The easiest way to tell if it is a Lepanthes or not is through a Lepanthes' signature lepanthiform sheaths on the stem.

In this plant, the stems are absent of those lepanthiform sheaths that are unique to Trichosalpinx, Lepanthes, and Lepanthopsis.
