plant mainly epilithic, forming subdense to dense semiglobose clumps; stems short to long, 50–180 mm long, when long then pendant for most of its length and apically ascending. inflorescence: peduncle of the inflorescence 0.9–1.2 mm in diameter (live), apical portion subdensely lepidote to subglabrous, occasionally glabrous or densely lepidote; floral bracts densely lepidote to subdensely lepidote, generally trichomes denser towards margins and apex, sometimes the middle portion centrally sparsely lepidote or glabrous; basal floral bracts (10.5–)11.5–16 mm long. flowers (15–)17–22 mm long, strongly fragrant; sepals (10.5–)11–14.5(–15) mm long, with some trichomes arranged in 1 to 3 lines and placed submarginally above the connate portion, occasionally with some trichomes placed also towards the apex, sometimes the sepals of apical flowers totally glabrous; petals 19–27.5 mm long; limbs (7.8–)8.9–11 mm wide, spreading to slightly reflexed, mainly orbicular. fruits (17–)19–28 × 1.9–2.6 mm, narrowly ellipsoid-prismatic.Edited from : Rossado et al. 2024.
