Biological Description
Sympodial plants of medium size.
Pseudobulbs are flattened, oval, shiny, wrinkled, univalent, rarely bifid, located in a dense group.
The leaves are hard, elongated-lanceolate, 10-15 cm long.
Peduncle up to 90 cm in height, carries 3–7 flowers.
The flowers are fragrant , white or pinkish-lilac, 4-7 cm in diameter.
Range, environmental features
From Mexico to Costa Rica , Nicaragua and Brazil .
Epiphytes , less often lithophytes .
Deciduous forests, at an altitude from sea level to 1700 meters above sea level with high intensity of sunlight, a large daily temperature difference and a long dry period.
Some collection sites for herbarium specimens [3] :
- Costa Rica ( Guanacaste Province (Bagaces, La Cruz, Nicoya)) at heights from 0 (10 ° 20'45 "N \ 085 ° 20'40" W) to 300 (10 ° 51'36 "N \ 085 ° 42 '36 "W) meters above sea level.
- Salvador (Ahuachapan, Chalatenango, San Salvador) at altitudes from 150 (10 ° 10'12 "N \ 085 ° 22'12" W) to 1000 meters above sea level.
- Guatemala (Izabal) 15 ° 39'33 "N \ 015 ° 00'06" W.
- Honduras ( Choluteca , Copan (San Juan de Opoa)) at altitudes from 65 (13 ° 20'00 "N \ 087 ° 08'00" W) to 500 (14 ° 46'53 "N \ 088 ° 40'49" W) meters above sea level.
- Mexico (Chiapas (Ocozocoautla de Espinosa), Guerrero, Jalisco, Michoacan (Coalcoman), Tabasco (Balancan)) at heights of 32 to 900 meters above sea level.
- Nicaragua (Chinandega, Chontales, Estelí, Leon, Madriz, Masaya, Nueva Segovia, Río San Juan, Rivas) at altitudes from 5-10 (12 ° 32'00 "N \ 087 ° 10'00" W) to 1000 (13 ° 23'00 "N \ 086 ° 16'00" W) meters above sea level.

The climate according to the weather stations of Los Andes is 65.21 km from Ahuachapan (El Salvador).
Lat.: 13.53 Debt. or Longitude: -89.39 Altitude: n / a [4] .
Monthly average minimum temperatures are from 11.2 ° C to 14.6 ° C, maximum - from 18.9 ° C to 23.3 ° C. From November to April, the dry season (average monthly rainfall of 5–64 mm). From May to October - the wet season (average monthly rainfall from 208–452 mm).
In Culture
The temperature group is moderate.
Day 21-24 ° C, at night 10-16 ° C [5] . This species grows better on a block of cork oak bark [6] . It is possible to plant in a pot or basket for epiphytes with a substrate of medium or large fractions of pine bark [5] .
The substrate should be completely dry after watering. For irrigation, it is better to use water that has been purified by reverse osmosis .
After flowering, a dormant period sets in, during which the plant is practically not watered and kept at lower temperatures.
Relative humidity 50–70%.
Lighting: 10-15 to Lux .
Top dressing only during the growing season with complex fertilizer for orchids at a minimum concentration of 1-3 times per month.
