Barbosella cucullata

Barbosella cucullata is an orchid species from Ecuador, Venezuela, Colombia, Peru and Bolivia. It is also another Pleurothallid, related to Masdevallia. Many of the species in this genus are very small, but this one is a bit larger with thick, channeled leaves about 5 cm tall and long, erect flower spikes (15 cm), and single flowers 4 cm in size. In nature it is a lithophyte, growing on moss-covered rocks, and in cultivation seems to like a thick pad of moss as well. It blooms for me in late winter or early spring.
