Pleurothallis species - Andes above Mindo, Ecuador
Pleurothallis species - Andes above Mindo, Ecuador, originally uploaded by Duane McDowell.
Growing terrestrially in full sun at high altitude. I don't know the taxonomy of this group well enough to know if I've even got the right genus... I think a lot of these are considered Stelis now. Definitely a tough plant - this was a harsh environment.
