LATER 
Common Name Soto's Sobralia [Mexican Botanist passed 2009]
Flower Size 2.4" [6 cm]
Found in Panama in very wet premontane forests at elevations around 1400 meters as a medium to large sized, warm growing terrestrial with erect, weakly zig-zag above stems carrying elliptic to lanceolate-elliptic, long acuminate, plicate leaves that blooms in the later summer on a terminal, usually horizointal to nodding, 1.4 to 2" [3.5 to 5 cm] long, successively single, few flowered inflorescence carrying ephemeral flowers.
"Sobralia sotoana resembles S. aspera vegetatively, though the plant is a bit smaller. The upper stems are weakly but distinctly zig-zag, and the inflorescences much more markedly nodding, or reflexed, so the flowers are somewhat pendant. The flowers are a bit smaller and the lips are intense orange within with a narrow white margin." Dressler & Bogarin 2010
