Barbosella cucullata

This orchid species is related to Masdevallia but (obviously) has a very different "look." The plant has thick channeled leaves a few inches tall, with six-inch long flower spikes and these rather oddly colored and shaped flowers. It has a wide range, from Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru to Bolivia. It is one of the larger species in the genus, which includes some very tiny plants and flowers.
