Rauhiella brasiliensis 'Rose'


This is a micro-miniature.  The plant with its pendant flower spikes is only 5 cm.  The individual succulent leaves are 1.5 cm and the flowers are 5 mm.  The species is from Brazil and was purchased as Chytroglossa paulensis, which it is not, but when awarded a Certificate of Botanical Recognition by the American Orchid Society was identified as Rauhiella brasiliensis.
