This was only flowering specimen I could find, and it was growing in a very inaccessible location high on a boulder on the edge of Roraima facing Kukenan in the place called “Kukenan Window”. The plants were located inside a narrow overhang, so getting close to them was very hard, not to mention taking a photo!
On the other side of the boulder I had stunning views of Kukenan, Roraima and other tepuis farther away.
Native range is the Guyana Shield.
