A Pleurothallis hybrid, (Plths. phymatoidea x Plths. teaguei)
In Puerto Rico, few people cultivate Pleurothallis. I suspect the main reason is that most of the flowers of this genus are small, drab and that the plants are a challenge to grow in the sweltering, relatively dry and windy coasts of the island. This plant was impressively large as Pleurothallis go but only had one opened flower. I photographed it at the 2016 Puerto Rico orchid society show in the Rio Piedras botanical garden.
