Common Name Adriana's Dracula [Dutch wife of Mr Sijm cultivator of orchid current]
Flower Size .8" [1 cm] wide
Found in Colombia without collection data as a mini-miniature sized epiphyte with an erect, slender ramicaul enveloped by 2 to 3, loose, tubular sheaths and carrying a single, apical, erect, thinly coriaceous, carinate, narrowly obovate, gradually narrowing below into the indistinct, conduplicate petiolate base leaf that blooms in the summer on an erect, [7 to 8 cm] long, possibly successive single flowered inflorescence arising from low on the ramicaul and with tubular floral bract.
Very similar to and possibly synonomous with D lotax and if so then D lotax takes priority.
