Stenospermation popayanense

An Andean Stenospermation of Colombia and Ecuador, recorded mostly in montane forest around 1400 m. The weather sites mix lowland and montane points, so the averages run warmer than the typical plant sees. Grow it as an intermediate-to-cool, constantly moist cloud-forest epiphyte.
