 | | Found in Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia and Colombia in wet montane forests as a cool to cold growing epiphyte at elevations of 1180 to 3200 meters where it blooms on a terminal, erect, threadlike, to 5" long, single flowered inflorescence that has sheathed bracts on the ramicaul, occuring in the winter and spring. |
 | | A single pickled flower from of a batch of Restrepia blooms sent to me by Dr Geoff Stocker, proved to be this species, it was however apparently of Peruvian origin. |
 | | There are about 18 species in this genus, vegatatively related to Restrepia but characterized by solitary, membranous flowers basically simmilar to Octomeria and Pleurothallis except for the number of pollina which is four. |
