MID
EARLY 
Common Name The Thick Horned Habenaria
Flower Size 1" [2.5cm]
Found in Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras in pine/oak forests at elevations around 1800 to 1900 meters as a small sized, warm to cool growing terreestrial or lithophyte with a leafy stem carrying a few basally clasping, lanceolate leaves that blooms in the mid summer through early fall on a terminal, few flowered, racemose inflorescence
CAUTION I am sure that the second determination by Eduoard Faia is incorrect. I await more information. It is possible that this orchid is Habenaria entomantha. Anyone?
Synonyms Habenaria adenantha A.Rich. & Galeotti 1845
