Dryadella barrowii
I purchased this as Masdevallia minuta and when it bloomed it proved to be something entirely different, though the genus Dryadella was once included in Masdevallia. After a lot of searching I've come up with a tentative identification since it seems to fit best the descriptions of Dryadella barrowii, also from Ecuador. The leaves are about 8 cm and the flowers have a spread of 2 cm. Like the rest of the Dryadellas it produces a lot of flowers when it blooms.

Perhaps you are right that it is simply D. albicans. The lip did not seem right for that species when I looked at it, but seeing it again, I am thinking that perhaps it is. Thanks for your comments.
DeleteRon, I love this little girls!
ReplyDeleteI have a Dryadella in bloom and I must confess: I'm in love with it!
Congrats

Thanks, Luis. They are all charming, aren't they? Do you know which species you have in bloom?
DeleteHi, Ron! Unfortunately, I’m not able to help you with the identification of your Dryadella. But I would like to say that I really love these tiny flowers. You have an amazing collection! This orchid is so small and delicate, with so many interesting details. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteAll the best,
Sergio
I think I've gotten the help I needed, Sergio and am reasonably sure that the identification is correct. I appreciate your interest and kind comments.
