Common Name Dubbeldam's Pleurothallis [Dutch cultivator of Species Current]
Flower Size .4" [1 cm]
Discovered in Netherlands without collection data as a miniature to small sized, caespitose epiphyte with slender, erect ramicauls enveloped by a tubular sheath at the base and another below the middle and carrying a single, apical, erect, coriaceous, ovate, acute, cordate base, sessile leaf that blooms in the summer on a reclining, arising through a reclining spathe, .8" 2 cm] long, successively single flowered inflorescence with half as long as the pedicel floral bracts.
Most similar to P phylocardioides but differs in the narrowly larger spathe and the larger flower with sepal concave centrally above a convex portion at the base and larger and broader petals that have revolute margins and are slightly curved.
