Prescottia oligantha is a tiny terrestrial orchid that is native of Puerto Rico. Previously I had only seen a single plant. In January 27, 2015 I found a small colony of about half a dozen plants near the Torre de Piedra. The plants are easy to miss. I found them because I had a good search image of what I was looking for. It is not a rare plant however very few people notice them due to the small size of the plant and tiny flowers.

A diferença entre a P. olighantha e a P. densiflora está nas folhas - uma tem folhas sesseis e a outra pediculada.
Essa sua planta parece ser a Prescottia densiflora, que também existe aqui no
Rio Grande do Norte no nordeste do Brasil.
