to 
Common Name The Two-Blistered Encyclia
Flower Size 1"
Found rarely in the mountainous area of western Cuba at elevations of 200 to 700 meters as a miniature to small sized, hot to warm growing epiphyte with ovoid pseudobulbs carrying 1 to rarely 2, thin, 6" long, flexilble leaves that blooms in the spring and summer on a terminal, 3 to 10 flowered inflorescence
There is a lot of confusion on this species and Encyclia trangulifera as this species has been said to be synomonous withit but Ic an assure you that they are different. I should have plant and flower pictures from both species very soon so a comparison can ne made.
