This tiny orchid plant, also found under the names
Acianthera sarracenia and
Pleurothallis sarracenia, with its strange, slug-like flowers is from Brazil. Its flowers are between a half and an inch long (1.5-2 cm) and the succulent leaves somewhat longer. Actually the plant is named not for a slug, but for a genus of Pitcher Plants, called
Sarracenia, which they also resemble.
